I measure square wave output with my voltmeter and I get middle value.(hopefully)
But when I add diode in series with voltmeter I get higher value?
Also transistor (base) connected to this diode wont open.
Diode is 1n4148. Or 1n4007.
Now if I ground diode output (cathode) with few kOhm resistor I get
normal reading.
This is like diode has inductance but I think it cant be that.
So why ungrounded diode output gives higher voltage?
Many thanks.
