    Hi how are things? I put in context. I am from Argentina, having as a problem the difficulty of acquiring hardware and drivers from abroad. I want to find out if by means of the following approach it is possible to build a useful and durable steering wheel. As an expectation with having sensations similar to the g29, the only steering wheel that I have been able to try, I am satisfied.
    I have seen in the forums that the most used controller is the stm32, which is difficult for me to get. Is it possible to use an arduino Leonardo? In any case, you could use a Stm32f103c8t6 Blue Pill (Arduino Blue Pill). Is it applicable to the project?
    Regarding the motor and driver, I can only afford nema 24, or at most nema 34, although I would prefer to be able to do it with the aforementioned one due to its economic price and little electricity consumption. The model in question is the D57CM31-4A, which I proceeded to pass a datasheet that I found in Portuguese ( https://recursos.techmakers.com.br/MediaCenter/NEO D57CM31-4A-ID.pdf ) and a similar model that it is also supposed to be nema 24 ( https://www.quicksilvercontrols.com/SP/DS/QCI-DS028_QCI-A24.pdf ).

    Is your 3.1Nm enough? Could it be overtaxed and lose useful life?
    The cheapest driver is an industrial one, which from what I have seen in videos is controllable with Arduino. The model in question is the TB6600. It's compatible? ( https://www.mcielectronics.cl/website_MCI/static/documents/TB6600_data_sheet.pdf )

    Another similar model is the TOSHIBA 67S109.

    I appreciate all the help I can receive and learn, or the simple answer of whether the project is viable. Thanks.

    Now I'm no expert on the direct drive steering wheel rebuild but from what I've read that 3.1 Nm (Newton meters) is way too little holding torque bro. the lowest I would go would be 13 NM but really ideally you want more like 25 NM (newton meters) holding Torque from what I understand from what I've heard

    Look on eBay they sell 13nm stepper Motors all day long for really cheap dude you just got to shop around on eBay you can find them

    stepper motors do not make good DD wheels

    Ive been wondering about that. now how about the stepper / Servo motors. I'm trying to learn all this stuff myself so I'm genuinely asking. What is it about stepper Motors that don't make good DD Wheels

    a servo motor is different to a stepper motor

    a decent servo motor is suitable - or a dc motor

    search for "cousin of OSW" for a DC motor project I did some years ago

    Ok. I will. Who are the DC motor what provides the torque

    Cuz I've got this DC motor right here that I bought specifically to try to make a DD wheel out of so 20220323_164048.jpg any information you can give me on how to do that would be awesome
