240## Hardware Considerations and Mods
241
242While 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
244However, 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
246You'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
252You'll need to cut the small trace between the 5V and center pads on the back of the Teensy.
253
254Once you have done that, you will want to solder the diode from the 5V pad to the center pad.
255
256You 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.
