Using a cordless impact driver (assume a Whitelabel no-name brand) and a Canon printer (MB2160) I designed this force feedback steering wheel. You will need the following

  1. Impact driver I have attached an STL for you to compare measurements. 
  2. MB2160 print although you could probably use any inkjet printer
  3. 2 x ballbearing 20x42x8
  4. Arduino Leonardo (UNO will not work)
  5. BTS7960 H-Bridge
  6. A power source (I used a drill battery) 
  7. 8mm threaded rod and 2 x nuts
  8. 2 x 4mm roll pins
  9. A steering wheel with the standard stud pattern
  10. Firmware found here: https://github.com/ranenbg/Arduino-FFB-wheel
  11. (opt) 5 pin connector (see video)

See below for the progress so far. 

As the project progresses I will be adding extra parts like paddle shifters and pedals.
