    Yes, very interesting project. I will keep an eye on this thread.

    As for whether they are fakes, sounds like they work. The printing on yours vs a known sample I got directly from Maxim look approximately the same to me. Both seem to have letters that are slightly askew. Yours seems to have the S in DALLAS raised maybe slightly more.

    Looks to be a good bargain. So I bought some too!

    Hi everyone,

    I share with you my experience in buying parts on ebay.

    I already bought from Hong Kong and China suppliers, 5X LM3914, 5X LM3915, 10X LM358N, 2 X PL2303HX, 10X MC34063, and i never had problems with them and always worked fine.

    If someone want, i can post here the suppliers where I bought the components.
    In some cases the price in my local shop is 2 or 3 times more then the price of the ebay suppliers.
    Thanks and Regards;
    Gadelhas

    I say post your code as an article. Very interesting test project.
    I'm not sure how to post my code as an article...
    Should I attach them as files or post the code in a code window.

    Then, does a moderator change it to an article??
    I am ready to post the code, but I'll wait to hear your response.

    thanks
    Dwight
