Guys, I want to build the peppermill as an addon to my Little Gem and do not have any LED's or Zener's. What I do have is 1n4001, 1n914, and 1n4148. Will any of these work?
I would try with two silicon diodes in series in place of red led, and replace it with red led later
Thanks for the reply Nasse. I found the following thread that explains MOSFET protection. It is very good:
