Hi all! So this will probably be a bit painful as this is not my field of expertise. I'm a composer for film, tv, and video games with a side hobby in programming. I've been working with a PCB designer to build a MIDI controller based on my specs for a few months now and today I received the boards for testing. (All code and concept was built, tested, and approved on breadboards and using a Teensy 3.2). When I plug in the usb cable to our custom teensy board, nothing happens. No sound and the code compiler can't find anywhere to put the code. I'm not 100% sure what questions to ask so I can provide some pictures and the purpose of the project.
The project is very simple - just a 16 linear pot design to send 16 different MIDI messages across the board. So I'm only using power, ground, and analog input A0-A15. The concept on breadboard took next to no time to design and code.

Any idea on why this board won't even power on? The PCB designer made a spot at the bottom for "reset" and "prog" buttons, but they don't exist on the actual board as I didn't want potential customers to be able to open the box and break the system.
