    Hello guys,

    I have a nice 3 phases motor with an encoder. To drive the motor I have a controller that can be directly plug to the PC by USB.

    Since I can drive directly the motor through the USB port, I was looking for an open source software that can directly emulate a controller (vJoy) and get the ForceFeedBack from the game. The majority of the projects that I found are using arduinos or STM32 board which I don't want.

    I found a very interesting project from Jan Balke (https://jan-balke.com/index.html). However, to get the FFB from the game, this project uses memory share which makes the project only compatible with Assetto Corsa or AC Competizione.

    To sum up, I'm looking for a project/sample/Library to create a windows application that will emulate a controller, get the Force Feed Back from the game and drive my controller (I have a library to drive my motor). The goal is to avoid any external hardware (arduino, stm32 board...)

    Thanks in advance for your help
