Thoughts on using Teensy-LC for keyboard build
« on: Sat, 09 May 2015, 10:05:49 »
How well will the Teensy-LC work for keyboard builds? Are there any limitations of it that could hinder it's ability to work well as a microcontroller?

From what I can see, the only real limiting factor is the availability of firmware.
HaaTa's Kiibohd controller firmware supports the Teensy 3.0 and 3.1. The microcontroller in the Teensy LC seems to be mostly compatible with those, just stripped down in its capabilities.

Edit: Oh, the pins' signalling is 3.3V, so every other chip you interface must also run on 3.3V.

I'm going to be using a similar chip the the Teensy LC in my build (MKL26Z still, but with more flash).

I'm going to be writing my own firmware, but I don't think it'd be such a massive task to get Kiibohd working, I just don't know if I'll ever do that!
