@bkim1301 I would start by connecting the VOXL 2 UART 7 to a PC with a serial to USB cable. Make sure you can communicate back and forth using that setup and then do the same with the Teensy before connecting the Teensy and the VOXL 2 together. It's often very helpful to use an oscilloscope on the rx / tx lines to verify that there is actually data flowing.
