If it's the first time you have run RetroPie then this is normal. Hold down a button on the controller and it should walk you through setting it up.

The teensy has to be connected via USB. You can use the pads on the back of the Teensy (D-/D+ along with the VUSB and GND pads) to connect it directly without a USB cord. In the final guide we'll be doing that through a USB hub.

I all,

I test this but it doesn't work.
I check my connection and the teensy, all is OK. The teensy works on my computer but no on pi.

I had this same problem with my aio board. Try cutting up a usb cable and just connect the green and white to teensy and then plug in directly to the usb port on the pi. That worked for me. I also powered the board separate from the pi.
