I'm still pretty new to electronics, so I had not known about the forward voltage on diodes. Thank you for the explanation. Very helpful :)

Diodes in place of 3.3V LDR?

On the homepage for AVR USB, the schematic shows two diodes in place of a 5V to 3.3V regulator. Would that really work? I can't image how two diodes are supposed to drop the voltage down from 5V to 3.3V.

Thank you.
