not trying to burst your bubble, but he was joking. And scamomatic, inc. doesn't tend to care about branding and patents/copyrights. But you're right, the sticker and packaging bring it up to a dollar.

Thanks. It a shame when the obvious needs to be spoken by a third party for a joke to be understood. At least you and I are laughing

NO CHIP!! just a resistor.

The packaging and the contents -- too funny:

Not just any resistor, Its a 33k ohm 1/2 watts resistor!
Cost about $0.01 each from digikey.

How much did you spend on the thing? Maybe you should sent it back and demand a full refund including postage and say the one they sent was faulty, it only had a cap in it!

andruboz · 02-26-2009, 08:15 AM

ooh... that fancy new chip costs so much more cause it has 3 leds and an old eprom they bought from a electronic salvage place.

actooly, i'm thinkin the led's are photochopped. that looks like the 33k on the lower left..

JBougie · 03-21-2009, 02:49 AM

No way. The fancy new chip is so much more because this one really works!
