Arduino vs teensy for keyboard emulation
Arduino vs teensy for keyboard emulation
hey
so i'm about to start my Gameboy zero w build and i'm in the process off deciding how i wanna handle input to the pi which goth me thinking
is it really necessary to use the 3 times as fast teensy over the arduino nano ore pro mini?
my project is not gonna be a normal retro pi build as it's gonna be a controller for my Sonos based sound system which means that the ability to put my system in some kind of low power mode is gonna be important i know that the Arduino can do this with a sleep mode of less than 1 MA i'm unsure on how low you can get the teensy in sleep mode?
so how i see it
teensy 3.2
- price 15 + times the price off an Arduino nano
+ 2-3 times fast processing then the arduino nano
- unknown sleep mode power usage
Arduino
+ low price
- slow processing
has anyone tried using an arduino instead of the teensy and is there any noticeable difference between the input speeds?

Re: Arduino vs teensy for keyboard emulation
Check the Wiki for the Leonardo Pro micro. It is based on arduino, so it should bei a good reference to what you are able to Do with an arduino nano.

Re: Arduino vs teensy for keyboard emulation
Seconded on the Pro Micro. I got mine for <$5 and has the exact same layout as the Teensy.
Re: Arduino vs teensy for keyboard emulation
are you experiencing any lags / processing speed related issues? with the pro micro arduino

Re: Arduino vs teensy for keyboard emulation
I've just finished a build with a Leonardo Pro Micro. No issues whatsoever.

Re: Arduino vs teensy for keyboard emulation
I hate to revive an old thread, but I use a Leonardo in my build. I have experienced quite a bit of input lag vs a wired USB SNES controller (Buffalo). The Buffalo controller responds noticeably quicker. Does anyone know if this could be improved with a Teensy or is it just the nature of the build?

Re: Arduino vs teensy for keyboard emulation
What software are you running on your Leonardo fox? I found a script for buttons only worked fine with my pro micro, but a script that included joysticks I was using previously was problematic when it came to response time. Perhaps another script might give better results, or debounce is set way too high?
