Take a look at @PaulStoffregen 's KickStarter for a new version of the Teensy 3s. Some great stuff for sure. If you haven’t tried out a Teensy 3.1 or Teensy 3.2 you are in for a treat. Tons of space, speed and support. Thanks again @PaulStoffregen @Daniel_Garcia @Mark_Kriegsman and everyone else who helps to make our blinky dreams a reality.
Nice, pledged for two.
Next one needs WiFi though.
Love, love, love the Teensy.
So awesome! @PaulStoffregen you rock. Kickstarter backed!
quick question about the 3.5, does 5v tolerant mean that it can drive a WS2811 strip without a level shifter on the data line?
backed for sure !
@Daniel_Haber Hello, It means that you can connect 5v signals to the inputs but the outputs are still 3.3v so you will need a 74hct245 buffer chip to drive the strip.
The 74hct245’s are definitely the way to go. Paul has a nice breakout board for 8x, but if you want 16x then you need two 74hct245s. I’ve been making little one-off boards on my othermill with some ethernet connectors, two 74hct245s and a 74hct4067d to dexmux a bunch of inputs.
I could share my board, but it has some features that aren’t generally useful. It would be easy to tweak for more general purposes if we wanted to do an oshpark run…
I also backed the duo bundle.
@PaulStoffregen you are awesome - I love your teensy boards.
I’ve backed as well… does anyone in the “know”, know if the new chips in the 3.5, 3.6 will work with fastled out of the gate, or need some porting?
@Brian_Dowling I’m totally not in the “know”, but I did see a list of libraries that were to be tested with the new Teensy goodness and FastLED was on that list.

I would actually be surprised if it doesn’t work with FastLED right from the go.
I think all the orders have been shipped now, I can’t wait to get mine
