Hello,
I just purchased a teensy 3.6. I haven't used a teensy before, I've been strictly using arduino boards. I have a couple questions about the suitability of the 3.6 for the completion of my project.
I have a 24 bit ADC circuit I put together, and is working well. So far I've been reading it (over spi) using arduino code I've written. The adc is read only at about 10 Hz. The micro controller reads the ADC, and updates a 3.5" tft (over spi as well). Previously I used an adafruit feather microcontroller with the feather 3.5" tft display (HX8357 driver): https://www.adafruit.com/product/3651
I found the update rate to the display to be painfully slow using the feather. Hence my decision to purchase a teensy 3.6. I also purchased the feather adapter so the teensy can hopefully pop into place on the back of the 3.5" tft I already have. I'm not familiar with the particulars of the teensy, does this sound reasonable?
Is there an HX8357 library for the teensy? Or will the existing adafruit libraries work on teensy? Apologies if these are ridiculous questions. I searched and couldnt find much on HX8357 for teensy.
Lastly, I see the arduino ide is compatible with teensy, so I can work in an environment I am familiar with. Assuming I did not use the arduino environment on the teensy, what else would one use? Is there an embedded linux or something people use? And then you write code that executes on top of the OS? How is code uploaded to the board in this case? Sorry, I'm not experienced as everyone else here, but trying to learn.
Thanks!!
