I have a DC motor that only can handle 12v 1A but my power supply is 12v 2.5A, so I wanna reduce the current to 1A so I can run my motor.
That's why we kept asking the question, as we suspected you had a non-problem.
Many devices such as motors and appliances only take the current they need.
For example, you can turn on your car heater fan that takes a few amps and it's connected to a battery that can supply several hundred amps without any problems
It will only draw its rated current and so will your motor, even if connected to a supply that can deliver 100A.
 
likely over your capabilities but not your EE aware friend's https://www.microsemi.com/document-...iting-techniques-for-switching-power-supplies
also does not your device have integrated pwm load/speed control as many portable tools do . . .
. . . an alternative easy solution that requires experimental pick of suitable components is incandescent bulb OR multiple matrix (← may have unsuitable reaction delay) OR a std. series over current limit https://en.tdk.eu/tdk-en/545938/pro...c-thermistors-for-overcurrent-protection?t=ps (← !! likely !! reacts faster) , https://www.resistorguide.com/ptc-thermistor/ by https://www.google.com/search?q=overcurrent+protection+nonlinear+resistor

With all due respect, and no insult intended, is English your first language? Second? Third?
Again, no disrespect -- it would just explain why I can never understand any of your posts.

I think it's just the language that geniuses speak...
 
It may be the way the D+ and D- pins are wired. I think there are about 3 different ways
