The Ware for September 2017 is shown below.

And here is the underside of the plug-in module from the left hand side of the PCB:

Thanks to Chris for sending in this gorgeous ware. I really appreciate both the aesthetic beauty of this ware, as well as the exotic construction techniques employed.

The ware for August 2017 is the controller IC for a self-flashing (two-pin, T1 case) RGB LED. It’s photographed through the lens of the LED, which is why the die appears so distorted. Somehow, Piotr — the first poster — guessed it on the first try without much explanation. Congrats, email me for your prize!

I removed a bit of context to make it more difficult — if it proves unguessable I’ll zoom out slightly (or perhaps just leave one extra, crucial hint to consider).

The ware for July 2017 is a PMT (photomultiplier tube) module. I’d say wrm gets the prize this month, for getting that it’s a PMT driver first, and for linking to a schematic. :) That’s an easy way to win me over. Gratz, email me to claim your prize!

Decided to do this one with the potting on to make it a smidgen more challenging.
