You have to plug in the Teensy, then you should be able to choose a programmer in the same menu where you can choose your port and what kind of module you are programming.

OK I've got that - any idea which one of the options I need? it's not covered in the guide. Options available are:
AVR ISP
AVRISP mkll
USBtinyISP
ArduinoISP
USBasp
Parallel Programmer
Arduino as ISP
Arduino Gemma
Atmel STK500 development board
BusPirate as ISP

Apologies if this sounds pathetic. If it were a car to fix I'm all over it, programming chips etc I have no idea.

I don't know if this really has any influence, but i always use "AVRISP mkll" and it worked good so far.
Haven't tried a Teensy ++, though.
Only Teensy LC, Arduino Nano and Arduino Leonardo.

Thats the one I've been trying.

Have tried again on an old Win XP machine tonight, still no luck. I can only assume I have a dead Teensy LC, unless anybody else has suggestions? The cable is fine as I use it regularly to transfer files to my phone.

don't use the latest Arduino software its not teensy friendly, use 1.6.8.

If your having problems let me know i will make a guide on this area,

I'm using 1.6.8

Im almost tempted to buy a new one, but if any UK resident would give it a go, I'd be up for sending my teensy to them for a double check? I'm not stupid by any stretch of the imagination, this just seems ridiculous.

I can hold until tomorrow., a guide would be brill. I've ordered another Teensy in case this one is dead. I want to try and get this working before I move onto part 3 of the guide, happy to take my time and get it right before I start gluing into the case haha

Try 1.6.5
I had problems programming several Arduinos with 1.6.8.

Still no luck unfortunately.

I've got a new Teensy LC arriving tomorrow, and I will give it a go once the guide is available from DirtyBullets. Unlikely to be tomorrow though as it's my birthday and I'll be having a drink or two.

Thanks for your endeavours thus far - I do appreciate it. Lets keep everything crossed that the new Teensy solves it.
