Hi all...noobie here...
I'm using a Windows 7 64-bit computer. I just purchased two Teensy LC boards. I installed Arduino 1.6.12 and Teensyduino Beta 1.31. I loaded the default Blink sketch, compiled, and loaded to both boards. Then I was able to change the blink rate in the sketch, load both boards...and the blink rate changed according to plan.
So everything is working.
The thing that has me scratching my head is the huge amount of resources a simple 5-line blink program is consuming. The sketch uses 11,748 bytes (18%) of flash storage space...and global variables use 2,200 bytes(26%) of dynamic memory. These numbers can't be real...can they? The Bootloader code resides on a totally separate chip...doesn't it?
Could these inflated numbers be due to "debug info" that may be included in the Teensyduino Beta Code?
If this is the case, I will move back to Arduino 1.6.11 and Teensyduino 1.30.
Which brings me to my next set if questions:
In my Windows Control Panel...Programs and Features Section...I see a line where the Arduino Code was installed...thus can be uninstalled,
But I see no line where the Teensyduino was installed.
So I assume the Teensyduino installer is not a formal "windows program installer", but more of a file shifter.
So where do all the Teensyduino files end up going?
Will they be removed when Arduino is uninstalled...or is there more cleanup I have to do?
Thanks for any info you can provide.
PS. A sticky that covers all these "install nuances" would be awesome.
