    Hi!
    Thanks for this project!
    I have an opportunity to get an ac servo motor with the following specifications on my picture.
    My question is, is this kind of motor viable in terms of building a wheel similar to OP's wheel? Sorry for this noob question, but I'm completly new to this.
    Thank you.

    If you are completely new to this I cannot advise on starting this specific project as it requires som in depth understanding of electronics fundamentals.
    The code I have provided is not plug and play. It will require you to adapt it to your specific hardware.
    It is also nowhere near finished.

    Start with a simple DC motor FFB wheel and see if it is difficult for you to build.

    Thanks for your reply!

    Sorry for the off topic, but it seems like the best route for me to take would be a DC motor (ex.: my1020) with either Arduino Leonardo or STM32F4 Discovery. There is a thread on Drivingitalia (used Google translator) and on this board as well regarding a build related to this:

    https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/76596-volante-direct-drive-con-arduino-stm32/

    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/cousin-of-osw-open-sim-wheel.10915/

    Do you think I could build one following these threads as I go along? Thanks again fot the reply.
