==Background==
[http://platformio.org/ PlatformIO] is an open source Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for programming microcontrollers (like arduino) and embedded systems. For our purposes, we mainly use it to write software for the [https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy32.html Teensy 3.2 Microcontoller]. In the past, we previously had used the easy to set up [https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Environment Arduino IDE], however it has many drawbacks and lacks many of the features of a full IDE.
==Instalation==
To install the PlatformIO IDE, follow the installation steps on [http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/ide/atom.html#installation the PlatformIO website]
There are a fair number of steps to follow if you do not have any of the software that PlatformIO incorporates, but it should be fairly straightforward.
'''OSX Users:''' due to a a problem with the program that loads your compiled code to the teensy on OSX, you will need to used a custom executable file in place of the original.
''there will be more added here later''
