Please excuse any frustration that may filter through as I type this.
The long and short of it: I can't get a result other than "Please press the PROGRAM MODE BUTTON on your Teensy to upload your sketch" when I go to compile/upload a sketch.
I have purchased a Teensy 3.1. I connect it to the USB port, it flashes, which indicates that the default blink sketch is running and, presumably, that the board is functional.
I installed Arduino 1.6.5, later installing Teensyduino to insert the libraries, etc so that it recognises the Teensy 3.1, and of course Teensy.
I do a test sketch upload using one of the built-in Examples. I get the aforementioned "Please press the PROGRAM MODE BUTTON..." message in red.
I do that (press button). Re-upload. Same deal.
This time I start the upload then press the button. No different.
In all I've spent about 4 hours trying to get what I thought was a simple procedure to work, on 3 different Macs all with the same result. I've even tried using previous builds of Arduino.
It's as if the Mac isn't seeing the device, although it supplies power to it.
Is it likely that the Teensy is fubar'd? Is it possible I've missed out a crucial step or even done things out of sequence?
I'm reaching out to the community in hope that someone would be kind enough to help me solve this problem as I am very frustrated over this.
Thanks in advance,
David
