I saw in a video of a guy controlling a brushless motor with only a dial, but I can't seem to find that video again. Perhaps one of you knows what device I am talking about?

Thank you so much!
That "dial" could be a simple potentiometer with no need for an electronic controller. Assuming a 1950's technology pot will work on a brushless.
