I know this is not a FastLED question, but could somebody try answer a question about the Tennsy3.2 MCU? I need to know if this is ‘normal’ behaviour for the programming part. Here is the sitch… I have WinXP and Arduino IDE 1.68 installled. When I added the Tennsyduino software it made it so that when just compiling a sketch for a diff MCU (UNO, Mega) the Tennsyduino program starts everytime. Even though Im not using the Tennsy or uploading to anything. So is this normal or am I missing something in the setup?? Thanks for any help you can offer. I want to use the Tennsy3.2 for FastLED stuff, but need to know if it runs correctly first.

It’s normal. Teensyduino is kind of a hack, rather than using the regular Arduino IDE plugin framework. It does work, but it has some idiosyncrasies like this.

@Amanda_Walker Ok, Thank you very much! Do I NEED the teensyduino software to use it or can I just use the Arduino IDE by itself?? This is my first time with a teensy product.

For now, at least, you need Teensyduino.
