I want to try connecting a USB cable to the Arduino using V-USB. On the schematics, they use a 3.6V Zener diode. I agree that's the easiest solution, except I don't have one, ordering one takes a while, and I can't source one locally. Could it be replaced with a voltage divider? (3.9k/5.1k) would gi…

Most white leds are ~3.6v and you can just use those.
