Teensy and USB2Serial Converter Question

Post by PET God »

Alright so I found a store in my area that sells Teensy 2.0 and Teensy2.0++. Is there any advantage on getting the ++ over the regular Teensy 2.0? Going to build this tonight and try to get it working.

Also: The store only has Gheo Electronics USB2Serial Converter. Here are the specs:

I recommend using the USB to UART adapters listed on the wiki, for latency reasons.
The Teensy 2.0 is enough for this task, there's no reason to take a ++ one.

Okay, thank you. I'll research to see if there is one of the listed at a store near me. I'm too impatient to wait lol
