Current limiting (lemmy.world)

I am wiring this up, and I would like to limit the current being drawn from 18v DC/DC converter.

What would be the simplest way of doing this?

Thanks. It has been fun, both doing the software, where I feel at home, but also the challenge of trying to do electronics, where I am completely lost :D You can't imagine the amount of DC converters I have burnt out, or my absolute confusion why I couldn't turn a motor on and off using a couple of relays! I must confess I still don't understand, but at least now I know.
