Help with Win7

[eddie_ce]

Hi, I am new here so please be gentle
I have no experience with programming and am about to start a project where I would like to use the Teensy 4.1.
I have already downloaded IDE 1.8.19 but am stuck as to what additional software I require to be able to program Teensy.
My OS is Win7.
For my project (virtual organ) I would require the Debounce addon Debounce2? and Midi to USB.
I would be extremely grateful if anybody could point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks,
Eddie

See this page for instructions on how to download and install Teensyduino. USB MIDI support is built in to that. You can install the Bounce2 library using the Arduino Library Manager (Tools/Manage Libraries... in the Arduino IDE).

Thank you very much for the prompt reply.
I have installed Bounce2 but am unsure about Teensy, I have installed Teensy41_AsyncTCP, ist this what I need to program the Teensy board?
Sorry for asking, but I am an absolute novice.

As @h4yn0nnym0u5e said you need to download and install TeensyDuino in order to program Teensy.

Arduino 1.8.x Software Development (Download and Run Installer)​

Teensyduino is a software add-on for the Arduino software.

• Macintosh Complete Software
  Supports: Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma
• Macintosh Installer for Arduino on Older Macs
  Supports: Mojave
• Linux Installer (X86 32 bit)
• Linux Installer (X86 64 bit)
• Linux Installer (ARM 32 bit / Raspberry Pi)
• Linux Installer (ARM 64 bit / AARCH64 / Jetson TX2)
• Windows XP / 7 / 8 / 10 / 11 Installer

Teensyduino 1.59 supports Arduino versions 1.8.5 and 1.8.9 and 1.8.13 and 1.8.15 and 1.8.16 and 1.8.19.
Future versions of Teensyduino will drop support for Arduino 1.8.15
Arduino 2.0.4 and later are supported by use of Arduino Boards Manager.
On Windows, the Arduino installer and ZIP are supported, but the Windows store "app" is not.
Windows 10 & 11 provide much better USB support than Windows 7, 8 & XP.
On Linux, PJRC tests X86 & AARCH64 on Ubuntu and ARM32 on Raspbian. Other distros may work, but are not supported.

Eureka!
Many thanks, have now installed Teensyduino.
I'm sure when it comes to writing the code (supplied and shared by another user) I will have many more questions.
Can you recomend a site/video showing absolute numpties the first steps in programming?
Eddie

Install Visual Studio Code and the Claude plugin, then pay for some Claude time and it will do everything for you....... so you won't need to do any coding or even look at the code, you just need to prompt Claude. Although some basic understanding of how software works won't hurt.
