thejazzcat and the group,
Hi,
I just finished my meter. I have a final question, what diodes can I use for meter protection? I see them on some of the builds on this thread.
Thanks in advance.

There are two kinds of diodes:
In the
red area use 1-3A silicon diodes, the type is not important, they protect the ESR meter from a charged capacitor. Do not use Schottky diodes.
In the
blue area use small-signal 15mA Schottky diodes. I use 1N5711. These are the rectifier for the meter.
Best Regards,
