TSynth Teensy 4.1: common questions
What microcontroller does the TSynth Teensy 4.1 use?
The TSynth Teensy 4.1 is built around the TEENSY4.1, from the NXP family.
How big is the TSynth Teensy 4.1 PCB?
The TSynth Teensy 4.1 measures 312 × 140 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the TSynth Teensy 4.1?
105 components, from 65 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the TSynth Teensy 4.1 design files?
From the Electrotechnique/TSynth-Teensy4.1 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the TSynth Teensy 4.1 design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Electrotechnique. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the TSynth Teensy 4.1 without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug NXP firmware against it before you order a PCB.
