My power into the board is from some old 12V 3 amp laptop charger.
Haven't hooked a scope up to it, but the multimeter says 12VDC.
I had turned the voltage up to 13-15 ish depending on the day.
Should i use a 15VDC or greater supply?

Blue light still does, and the motor does turn.

The red LEDs are dim and  the display is dim, and doesn't change.

Anybody seen this before?
The unit does appear to be working... But i don't see the current limit light coming on,even when putting some extra back pressure on with a pair of pliers.
