But surely it doesn't matter David? There is nothing critical in there, it's just a display. As long as the voltage is within the processor's operating window, that is surely good enough? Peter On 7 July 2011 15:48, David VanHorn wrote: > > Vf is highly dependent on current and temperature.

It is between four and five Yuan. Four Yuan at the local market will buy what four dollars will buy in the US (as long as you are not buying imported goods). jcc On 7/7/11 11:06 AM, Chris Albertson wrote: You forget that this "Fluke.L" guy's first design replaced three diodes with wire jumper

You forget that this "Fluke.L" guy's first design replaced three diodes with wire jumpers to save the cost of three diodes. The builder is cheap beyond all reason. To a guy who'd replace diodes with wire $0.78 must seem like a fortune. I'd use a 3.3 volt reg also but in China 78 cents is what?
