Hello!
I hope you more experienced people here can solve a dilemma. What's the dilemma? Well I fear the great and powerful smoke being let loose from a rather expensive drone project... (Expensive is a relative term. I am retired, so everything is expensive!)
So I have a good circuit diagram to work from, and I have all of the parts- except for one. And this project is on a bit of a crunch time wise. So I hope you can help out. The diagram calls for a "1N4001 or similar" diode. But I have not got one... The closest I have is a 1N4148 diode.
True, 1N4001's are less than a dollar online or in an electronics store, but I live way out by the river Styx. So far am I from civilization, that Charon the Boatman and I are good friends.
So it's either spend $50 in gas going to "Mount Pilot" for a 98 cent diode, or wait a week and a half for the mail to deliver.
So would a 1N4148 diode be similar enough to a 1N4001 to work?
I really appreciate the help guys. Diagram included and I have green arrows showing where the diode is on the diagram.
