    Building a motion rig felt like a walk in the park compared to Ffb wheel.

    I want to upgrade over g29.

    Parts I have
    Omron 2500pr
    BTS7960
    STM32F407VET6 board. But, The model number doesn’t exactly match what is recommended. Is it the same?

    what is the advantage of stm32 over Leonardo?

    I want to use dc motor over servo considering The build price with servo is not much cheaper than buying moza r5.

    dc motor I plan to use Is Prius power steering. It’s geared, I hear that’s not suitable but can’t understand why when it work in reality in Toyota power assisted steering . I’ve used them on my motion rig. They’re incredibly powerful and don’t feel to have significant gear resistance when manually turning the lever arm at 5” leverage on my rig.
    Their design makes easy mounting and double shaft so encoder can be mounted easily.

    I’ve purchased emc software. But happy to consider mmos or vnm. Which ever is easiest with clear wiring diagram.
