Many people don't realize just how powerful it is. I built an analog synth emulator (although this post gave some ideas about doing a web UI for it) for fun.

- JKCalhoun 3y agoI used a single 4.1 to host a UART (MAX232) to give me hardware serial, scan a home-built keyboard, and maintain a text buffer and update a 3.5" LCD display. (In short I built a modern terminal around the Teensy 4.1.)
- ChuckMcM 3y agoNice, one of the things I'm doing in my "spare" time is building a framebuffer that is driven by quad-spi on a ULX3S board. The plan is to have it act as a terminal with both a character mode, a vector mode (ala Tek4016), and a pixel mode using sixel graphics. Given that it is planned to be attached to a computer system as it's "visual output device" I really hadn't given too much thought to making it a standalone terminal but that would be an interesting application for it.
- hug 3y agoThere's many synthesizers that use a Teensy as the brains of the thing. My favourite by far is the Dirtywave M8, which is an incredible bit of hardware & software design, in UI & UX. They're unfortunately sold out, now, but they're incredible bits of kit. If you have a Teensy and some spare time, check out the Headless version of the firmware: https://github.com/Dirtywave/M8HeadlessFirmware https://github.com/Dirtywave/M8HeadlessFirmware -- upload it to your Teensy, and head to https://m8.run https://m8.run to get a fully featured tracker in your browser. The Polyend Tracker is another portable synth that is backed by a Teensy -- not quite as neat, but still neat.
