I'm not getting a variation in speed. I've got it wired the same as this build, I'm using the same pot as this build, and I have a 12v supply. I've also tried running the ground from the fan straight to the supply. Same problem and my LED on the switch doesn't work. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? I think I've tried every possible way of wiring it.
Edit: I checked the output at the pot. On low I've got 10.2v on high I've got 12.1. Is this not enough to notice a change in speed? Do I need a smaller supply?
I had the same issue with the 12v supply. Go smaller and it will work. I used a larger fan and a smaller supply and it is perfect now.
