This is a public warning.
Do not wear aldi thongs while working on teensy 3.2.
I fried my serial1 rx pin after starting to wear them half way through a big project.
Changed back to my boots for the rest of the install.
Man I was crackling and zapping everywhere in them.
 
Should invest into a static environment. Winter is here with dry air and no matter what, you can build a static charge. Sitting in a chair and getting up can cause it.
Get static mats and wrist straps and ground them. Always touch the mat to neutralize yourself. Handle in a static sensitive bag (shield types are better). Look up The Electronic Goldmine, the sometimes have bags kind of cheap.
