Hey Adam, thanks for the comment. No, there are no adjustments to the image - other than a crop in PS. The pins are bent because, well, I bent them - to exagerate the blown chip - so no one else would put it in one the autopilots that I help design and test. Whenever something is proven unreliable or problematic in any form, it usually hits the trash can. I saved this one for a photo project. Cheers, Sam
Hey, wait a minute. I thought I was the only one allowed to post pictures of chips.
It looks sharp in the middle, but then a bit soft toward the edges. I know these are a bit tougher to do than they look -- especially with a zoom. It looks really square. Did you need to adjust the image for barrel or pincushion distortion? And why are all the pins bent? ;-)
