SUMMARY
The discussion centers on troubleshooting fluctuations in a PN and Zener diode circuit when connected manually, as opposed to using a diode box. Users report inconsistent readings, particularly when measuring current beyond 0.3V. A current divider circuit is recommended to extend the ammeter's range, and attention is drawn to the importance of a voltage-dropping resistor to prevent exceeding the diode's current limit. Participants seek additional circuit diagrams for clarity.
