FlexDrives are small, and require precise soldering skills...

First you need to set the current range. See diagrams in the documentation here:
http://hacylon.case.edu/ebay/laser_diode/MicroFlexDrive_V5_manual.pdf

Then you can adjust the current.

The tiny pot is a 'single turn' pot that can be damaged if turned too far in either direction.

You must use a test load to set the current. Here's a good write up on using a test load: (he shows a DDL driver, but it is the same procedure with a FlexDrive)
Laser driver - It can be done

Setting the drivers can be easy. But it's something that gets easy only after you learn how to do it properly.

This is why I offer a 'Hot' option (driver included and installed with current set) for most of my kits...

By the way, I shipped your SolarForce Gun Metal 'Hot' option kit today! :)
