Some various TeensyView-Teensy connections. The bottom centermost TeensyView was created using this guide, while the left is a minimal non-separable configuration. Using a breadboard is also an option.

The TeensyView works with some really heavy examples, but they're really only demonstrations. What to do with it is up to you! They're great for adding simple debug info to a mobile project, while a diligent pixel artist could implement a whole menu system.

Additional projects and sketches that use the TeensyView:

  • The HighSpeedTest, in the examples folder, draws alternating pixels as fast as possible. This can be used to experiment with the limits of the TeensyView's OLED.
