    My Motion Simulator:
    DC motor, Arduino
    Hello friends, I am an inexperienced new user trying to join you

    I have done some research on the internet recently and I saw the set made using brushless dc motors on the site called ffbeast, I tried to adapt the same set to my own possibilities and I found a second hand hoverboard motor on the internet (I haven't bought it yet), the person selling this motor told me that the motor works in the range of 36 volts, 250/350 watts, about the amperage he stated that he uses 14 amps. I don't know much about these things and I saw that they use motor controllers like VESC 6 or XDrive/ODrive used in the tutorial videos, it is impossible for me to get these parts due to the country I live in and they are too expensive for me to afford, I plan to use AS5600 Encoder in the system. I will also put the system together using an Arduino.

    What I need help with is what kind of motor controller do you think I can use in this system, since I will be using an Arduino anyway, which one can I use as a cheap motor controller without getting into things like ODrive? Also, will there be a problem with the compatibility of the parts I chose? I haven't looked at the software in detail, but I think EMCUtilitylite and XLoader applications seem to do the job for me.

    I'm waiting for your help, thank you very much in advance...
