Does anyone have experience of using these please.?
An example would be brilliant.
What configuration in software is needeed. ?
If by teensy you mean very small, many manufacturures make SMD devices varying in speed, power consumption etc..
what exactly is your question??
regards

Teensy is an arduino board thet uses various atmel devices.
It has a software configurable comparator (s).
Just read the specs...

A visit to Teensy forum might answer your questions.
Thanks , it is not an arduino board then ?

No, but it can use the arduino IDE.
Teensy is just another flavor of micro controller, similar to say, an Adafruit Feather, but depending on which Teensy you have can be up to a 32-bit, 180Mhz Cortex M4. As with arduino's, there are 3V and 5V units.
Thanks , looking at the specs (there are a lot of differing ones) i think i will give it a miss and settle for external hardware.
Which model do you have?
I have a couple Teensy LC units I picked up and treat them like arduino pro mini's. I wanted a mini style board in 3V, and the store I was at only had 5V pro mini's, so Teensy fit the bill.
You might want to try it out. It means adding a library and some pin differences, but they are not that difficult to deal with.
I'm not a controller guy. I was taught analog circuits, with a couple days learning what "digital" meant. We learned some flip flops and counters, but nothing like a micro controller, and surely nothing about "code".
I do not have one.
I recall a mention of the comparators.
Trying to see if i can reduce the component count for this or similar and implement with arduino.

Will need an external line driver anyway so probably not worth the effort.
Perhaps. The high end Teensy runs about $25 in the US.
It might save some parts count, but more importantly, it would also expand your knowledge of working with microcontrollers in general, instead of just the Arduino.
I have been promising myself for a while to experiment with one of the more powerful ones.
So many to chose from.
One thing i would like to experiment with is real time video processing.
Some examples for the Pi i notice.
I did some stuff back in the 80's with Z80 etc, power available today though is extarordinary by comparison.
I have a Pi3, a Pi2, a few Pi zeros, 2 Mega 3560s, an Uno, several pro-minis, a Feather 32u4, 2 Teensy LCs, a couple Olimex boards, and a little Digispark something or other. The one I am really trying to grasp is the Linux thing. It's a stark difference from windows OS
One day, I'm going to just hibernate in my toy room and start really messing around with them.

Me too, for about 10 years.
With windows i just got used to using what is on offer.
Ever since windows 3.1 on a 286 i have not bothered with thinking how OS is implemented.
Totally forgotten how to even use DOS interface.
I had a whopping great 20 MB disk drive then too.

Actually, Teensy boards are sold from the Arduino.cc site (https://store.arduino.cc/product/E000068), so that could cause some confusion, but as Tinman said, it's a different brand with a separate forum.
