Hi can somebody help please. Will this work if we replace the LED with a dc motor, i have different types of motors and ill use a regular small dc motor not the ones on the phones,more like the ones on rc cars wheels. Just wanted to know of this would slow it down, since im making a tatoo machine. I was planning to make this a  foot pedal.. Thanks

Yep a simple Potentiometer will slow your Motor down.

In simulation I should say yes but because I'm sure ur using 10R< potentiometer I finally won't work. Use pwm and if u don't know what is it found it on Internet.

I know pulse width mod, but havent tried to use that approach. Anyways i just made mistake soldering the 220 ohms resistor on the ground of the led on the actual circuit. The actual project i did was a fail cuz i sorta made a voltage divider . Anyways i just need to re wire a few and i think it will work, cuz so far i used 9v and the motor is working altho its very slow. . Just didnt want to fry my pot incase.. I used B10K btw
