I did not expect so many in-depth reply’s in just a few hours. Thank you so much for your help!
I’m more a less trying to duplicate the features of the linked haptic knob (GitHub - scottbez1/smartknob: Haptic input knob with software-defined endstops and virtual detents) as a custom PC input device with some added feedback. Just watch the demo video on the smartknob page to see what I mean.
It is actually using simplefoc for controlling the motors. Everything is USB powered. It uses TMC6300 motor drivers (2…11V, 1.4A). See the project page for documentation and CAD data. It uses a custom PCB which somewhat hard to handle for me considering TMC6300 part size and lack of experience.
Therefor I thought maybe there is an alternative that might not be as good but more usable for a “simple” DIY project.
