edr1924:
here is some C code to check if your Maxim SOP's are fake or not...

void checkGenuineMaxim()
{
int myMaximSOIC = 2; // enter amount payed
if (myMaximSOIC <= 5)
{
Serial.print("FAKE!");
}
else
{
Serial.print("GENUINE...");
}
}

This code doesn't compile for me. Does that mean my IDE is fake ? 8)
