High-res photo of the real FT232RL vs. the fake one. Note the size of the Pin 1 dimple. https://mrcn.st/t/ftdi_real_fake.jpg …pic.twitter.com/lpgrY16TAt
@Bangtrebleknitr I wasn't very careful with the lighting, and left auto white balance on. Don't focus on color differences. Look for shapes.

@marcan42 when I zoom in though, the fake one looks like it has the brand name etched vs stamped or something on the real. -
@Bangtrebleknitr I think they're both etched, but in different ways. I deliberately had light coming from the side to make it more obvious. - Show replies

@marcan42 It *does* look to me though like there may be subtle differences in the size of the pin housing. Could be wrong.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
