simple instructions for my flexmod p3 driver?

[DKlaser]

I have all the tools and am ready to get this flexmod p3 driver dialed in for my 445 diode. I also have the instruction sheet that came with the driver. I am having a time grasping what the hell the modulation input does and how I should connect it. I only have 2 wires coming into the driver and 2 going out. Reading the instructions on how to set the current states that I should be using this current modulation port for something.

In idiot terms can you tell me how to get this hooked up so I can set the pot for my desired current output. This driver is new to me and has a few bells and whistles that I am not familiar with.

I don't know about the P3 driver either but maybe this will help. Read the part how the P3 driver is set in the first post.

Are you trying to use it with the modulation? If not this is what you need:

Yep if you follow DTR's lead here it's the correct way, DTR's the man :beer:

Ok, so since I am using 2 lithiums as the power source I can just solder a jumper between M+ and the + input?

Ok, so I just used a wire to bridge the 2 together instead of the resistor. I got everything together and set it to 1.8a. After taking a reading I am only getting 1950mw. The last m140 and g2 lens setup I did made 2600mw @ 1.8a I bought both diodes from DTR at the same time. can these diodes really be that much different one to another? Should I turn up the juice to this diode? or just take it as is and be happy with it?
