    Hi guys,

    I'm planning to do the Arduino Nano + DRV8825 with temp probe minimal version. I couldn't source two of the diodes locally. The 10A10 1000V and the 9.1V 5W zener diodes.

    The closest I got are 6A10 1000V and 12V 1W zener. I'm not an expert on electronics so I have no idea if they would work or if I can use couple of them with serial/parallel connections. If not I will buy the original diodes from Aliexpress though it would take them at least one month to arrive...

      • the 9.1v 5w zener is not interchangeable. It is important not to place too much voltage to VIN of the nano, so it has to be 9.1v 5W

      The 6A10 is ok.

      Cheers Robert

    Thanks for the info Robert. Then I will buy them together from China.
