| 240 | ## Hardware Considerations and Mods | ||
| 241 | |||
| 242 | While most any Pro Micro can be used, micro controllers like the AVR Teensys and most (if not all) ARM boards require the Split USB Detect. | ||
| 243 | |||
| 244 | However, with the Teensy 2.0 and Teensy++ 2.0, there is a simple hardware mod that you can perform to add VBUS detection, so you don't need the Split USB detection option. | ||
| 245 | |||
| 246 | You'll only need a few things: | ||
| 247 | |||
| 248 | * A knife (x-acto knife, ideally) | ||
| 249 | * A solder station or hot air station | ||
| 250 | * An appropriate Schottky diode, such as the [PMEG2005EH](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/nexperia-usa-inc/PMEG2005EH,115/1589924) | ||
| 251 | |||
| 252 | You'll need to cut the small trace between the 5V and center pads on the back of the Teensy. | ||
| 253 | |||
| 254 | Once you have done that, you will want to solder the diode from the 5V pad to the center pad. | ||
| 255 | |||
| 256 | You may need to use the 5V pad from the regulator block above as the pads were too small and placed too closely together to place the Schottky diode properly. | ||
