I've been looking into the cause of the wildly inaccurate readings. Took ages. Getting a Vf of 220mV for a 1N4148 finally made me look in the right place. I haven't found out why, but I have found out where. The averaging code in ReadU is borked. Quick hack (though you theoretically loose accuracy Ha Ha) is to change ADC_SAMPLES to one:

#define ADC_SAMPLES 1

Magically, it works. Readings are not as consistent, but a LOT more accurate.

Excellent work. Please, if you are able to use github, it would be a very good way to keep track of revisions and stay updated. I am eager to see further development on this project.

Also, I want to thank aardvarko for their contributions to troubleshooting this project. It is a wonderful example of how opensource design & online communities can be very fruitful.

Keep up the good work & please consider github. best wishes.
