USB Serial Communication can be done using Serial.print() and other communication functions normally used for
UART Serial communication on the Arduino board. Unlike the Arduino, which converts 38.4 kbps serial to USB, the
Reference
Teensy has direct 12 MBit/sec USB access, so communications are sent and received at full USB speed.

Direct USB access is possible, so the Teensy is not limited to being only a serial-type USB device. It can
act as HID, Mass Storage, or nearly any type of USB device. Future Teensyduino releases will provide
alternate board configurations that act as non-serial devices.

The Teensy also has a serial port. It is not connected the USB port and can be used separately.

How Does Teensy Compare With The Arduino Board?

Teensy uses a similar Atmel AVR processor as the Arduino board, but there are
Specification Teensy Teensy++ Arduino
differences. The most important is direct, built-in USB on the Teensy compared to serial
converted to USB by a separate chip on the Arduino. While this allows much faster Processor AT90USB162 AT90USB646 ATMEGA168
communication, and also many types of USB communication that are impossible with a
standard Arduino, it is also a very different from a technical point of view! Some sketches Flash Memory 15872 64512 14336

The Teensy lacks analog inputs. Sketches that require analog input can not work on the
Teensy. The Teensy also has less RAM and fewer PWM capable pins than an Arduino. PWM (Analog Out) 4 9 6
