Moving beyond Arduino IDE to a Makefile

[pprovost]

Hi everybody,

Sorry about the Noob question, but I'm quite new indeed at the Teensy. Here's my question. I have prototyped the Knobber project using a Teensy 2.0 and the Arduino environment on a Mac. I would like to move past the IDE (mainly to change the name of the USB MIDI device in usb_midi/usb_private.h. I've been developing using Makefiles for a bit, but I would like to know where I can find a sample Makefile for an USB MIDI project (also using a bunch of Arduino stuff like inputAnalog, inputDigital and the like).

How should I go about this?

Thanks!

Paul

IMO, skip past makefiles to a decent IDE where all that is taken care of automatically.
Some Teensy people use Eclipse (free, but takes some time to learn as do all good IDEs).
I use Eclipse for several different microprocessors.

there's an article here on Eclipse for Teensy2 or 3. user Headroom just posted about it today.

Feel free to move to makefiles or a different IDE, but those are orthogonal to the MIDI device name. For Teensy 3.0, there is explicit support: see how to change Teensy 3.0 product name. For Teensy 2.0 and ++2.0, I believe you stil have to edit the library code directly.
