So, the DC has a 300w bulb attached? It's not going to work. The current is going to be +/- 1 amp at its absolute maximum. But the controller commands current rather than voltage. And the DC input is going to vary all over the place. It would be much easier to test if you just used maybe 4 12v lead acid batteries for your DC input. The encoder is required with this code.
