    I am planing on building a sim wheel using a DC 895 motor. My plan was to build this on a budget, and without many tools required.

    I was planing on using this:
    A DC 895 permanent magnet motor(3000 RPM version):

    A BTS7960B motor controller:

    PLM Series Planetary Gearbox 10:1:

    For connecting the motor to the planetary reducer I am planing on making a 3D printed part.

    The controller will probably be an Arduino Leonardo board, maybe an STM board, if there are any benefits to the STM board let me know.

    Do you think this could work, and what's a good firmware to use? I heard MMOS is good, but is no longer being maintained.

    Any suggestions how to improve this?

    Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

    There are by far better and cheaper solutions available

    Umm I have a 895 motor that I want to use but it has 10k rpm at 24v. I don't know what power supply to use
