    Hi. Like in topic : does replace arduino uno to tensy have sense? I read that for stepper motors is good. How about for DC motors

    the Teensy is very fast and powerful

    but it may not be needed

    I am counting 6 encoders with very high resolution so speed is needed

    potentiometers give a position that requires no counting

    an Arduino is fine - look at the SMC 3 project
