Using teensy as keyboard HID

[worktoil]

I want to program a teensy with my Linux computer then use the teensy as the keyboard on a windows computer. The windows computer is tightly secured and there is no other way to quickly enter text files generated by my perl programs on the linux computer (usb stick and email is out). I simply want the teensy to type the linux text files out to the windows computer as if entered from the keyboard.

I have purchased the teensy tutorial kit, a teensy 2.0 and a teensy 3.0. I have downloaded the teensy loader and arduino 1.0.3 and 1.0.4. I have worked through the tutorial and learned a bunch.

My difficulty comes on "Using the USB Keyboard." The first line says select USB Keyboard from Tools>Boards, I can find no such option.

What am I missing. Thank-you for your time.

No, from Tools > USB Type

Opps. I've updated the web page to say "Tools > USB Type".

Hi Paul.

In future updates, could you make a Usb-Type as just Keyboard / Keyboard+Mouse ?

If I configure it as Keyboard + Mouse + Joystick, the joystick part causes problem in some applications(like racing-games etc) when having a real joystick/gaming-wheel connected at the same time.
Solution was to configure it as Keyboard + SD-Card, but it causes another few unwanted things

That would be nice !


Thanks.
