Well the data are in. I tested my Teensy in another circuit with different program...and it works fine.
So...when I blew up Teensy #1, it took out some chips downstream. Thankfully I put all my chips in sockets so...
I only put the 12 volts on D15, nothing else. Had I put it on Vin...I would have blown everything on the board...all TTL 5 volt devices. The only way I think of ensuring my spare Teensy is working is by using it in...
Arrrggghh! Thanks defragster. I was hoping it would be the opposite. I'll start checking downstream of the logic chips. Better pull out the schematic.

Since most of the questions here are quite intelligent, let me ask a stupid one.
I've been working with electronics for ...50 years at least, yet still managed to blow up a Teensy by applying 12 volts to a digital...
I have an outdoor 16x32 matrix display that runs on a Teensy3.2 MCU. I'd like to be able to remote program it using Bluetooth or wifi. I had a USB cable sticking out of the display but the salty ocean air corroded it...
