I've got 12 screwdrivers here in my bag, none small enough.

This might help. Or use the search function. I'm no expert with these things, yet, lol.
Setting the lo ADJ on a MeanWell?
Researching the MeanWell drivers with the internal dimmer. There's two adjustments. One for the voltage and the other that limits the maximum current. Ending up in one of two modes. Constant voltage mode: Output voltage can be adjusted in accordance to data sheet via controller Vo.ADJ. in a...

Ones voltage ones amperage. Need a precision Philips screwdriver.

As they've stated, ones for voltage adjustment(vO) as it can adjust down to about 50V and the other is for actual dimming.(iO)

I like it, still in veg so far though..will know in 11 weeks what it's capable of after harvest. I like the sleek design, heavy duty cords and it gives off almost no heat, even the driver is ambient temp.
I don't like the dimmer screws, it can't really be dimmed the screws will turn continually ..I just hope it's on full blast.

Brother, I haven't seen any updates or even a pic of your light in action! Let's see that thing!
Also, did you figure out the dim screw? I never saw this post I don't think and am concerned when you say it turns continuously. It definitely should come to a stop. You really might need to use your phones light to shine down into the plug hole and make sure you got it lined up. The screwdriver shouldn't be smaller than any of your 12 sizes that's for SURE. It's like a pen size screwdriver you'd use.

Hi guys!
I have a Meanwell A/B Type Driver. The fact it is an A-type means that I'm able to configure it using a Philips screwdriver, right?
My question is about the fact it is also a B-type.
To use it funcionality I need a 100K potentiometer, don't I? Is it possible to use the driver without this potentiometer? In this case would it work? The voltage would be the maximum possible?

Yes, screwdriver
Yes 100k pot
Yes, works without
The voltage depends on driver and what chips you use
