MicroMod Teensy Processor Hookup Guide

Arduino Example: Blink

With the MicroMod Teensy Processor Board Definitions installed, let's do a quick code upload to make sure everything went correctly during the Arduino Software Setup.

Selecting and Loading Blink

We'll start off with a basic Blink example to turn the STAT LED on and off just to make sure everything is working properly and your Processor can accept code.

Open up the Arduino IDE and select the "Blink" example by navigating to "File > Examples > 01.Basics > Blink" or copy the code below into a blank sketch:

language:c
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}

With the example opened, select your Board (SparkFun MicroMod Teensy Processor Board) and Port using the Tools > Board and Tools > Port menus and click the "Upload" button. Barring any issues during compilation and upload, the STAT LED on your Teensy Processor should blink on and off every second.

Note, if this is the first time uploading click the Verify button, the Teensy Loader Program will open (if it is not already open) and prompt you to push the Pushbutton (the BOOT button on your Carrier Board). After that, you can upload to the Teensy Processor just like any other Arduino by clicking the Upload button.
