So i recently built a USBTinyISP...and it doesn't work. I took a look at the diodes that came with the kit, and they were 1N5927 diodes, which happen to be 12v diodes.
Those really shouldn't work, right?

Wrong diode
I'm having a zener diode issue too. Upon inspecting the diodes, I realized that I have the 1N5226B type, which is rated for 3.3V.ladyada wrote:although they are hard to read, the diodes are 1N5227 type, not 1N5927 - 3.6V zeners, which is the correct value
