October 31st, 2013September’s ware was guessed in a flash. I didn’t expect it would be so easy — I had posted just one side of the controller board originally (the other images were added after the correct guesses started rolling in). It seems many folks have seen the Leap Motion controller’s guts already. Plum33 was the correct first guess, email me for your prize!

Nothing says “I love you” quite like a fake ON-semi 16-pin SOIC.
Mitch Davis sent me this photo, posted in a Chinese-only trade group chat room for chip sellers in Huaqiangbei. The poster said, “Does anyone know who supplies this chip, my customer needs it urgently!”
I figure if you can put any fake markings on any chip, this would be a romantic way to give a sly wink to that girl in the material quality inspection office you’ve had eyes on. Now all we need are “will you marry me” chips: “Hey darling, can you help me rework this board? I can’t quite make out the part number on this chip…” Now the hard part is, what chip would be most appropriate for the big question?
