I am using a 12v, 3A power supply.

It is wired as such - except RX and TX are connected (not just dotted lines) and there is a 1k resistor across them.

The current adjustment resistor reads 1.54v.

I'm not sure how to price the rate yet - I will take a closer look at the forum this afternoon and modify my top post accordingly.
