Posting in case anybody is wondering if it is possible. Short answer: yes it is, but expect some extra force feedback through the seat of your pants.
I'm currently using the small MIGE motor while using a Thanos DD board (comes with plug and play support for Logitech shifter and pedals). Had to design and 3d-print an adapter for the wheel, but so far it's working fine. While I was at it, I also designed mounts for a Logitech shifter and the popular Chinese usb handbrake. So far everything is holding up remarkably well, with several people having tested it in Richard Burns and Dirt Rally 2. It works so well that now I seem to have a permanent mark on my left thumb, reminding me to lower the force feedback settings in games. It also convinced me to move the emergency stop button where you can see it in the picture below, blindly reachable with the knee. Especially with VR that seemed to be a must have feature.
It is running mmos firmware in combination with the inbuilt DAC on the thanos board it's a massive improvement over my Logitech wheel. There is a new firmware gaining popularity, but it doesn't support the Logitech shifter yet, so I'm sticking with the current firmware and software for now. Haven't figured out how to get Dirt Rally (the first one) to work, but RBR with NGP6, Dirt Rally 2 and Assetto Corsa all work out of the box.
Should anybody be interested in the 3d printed mounts, I'll probably put them on Etsy or some site like that. If you know of a better site for offering the 3d prints, I'm open to suggestions. I'm not going to sell the STL-files, although I was planning to do that at first, but after I saw how many designs were being stolen and offered on sites like Amazon, that doesn't seem to be a good option.
Attached some pics to prove that it did happen.
EDIT:
Put the mounts up on Etsy under the name JoDoPl, don't know if I'm allowed to post direct links, but it should be easy enough to find.
Price came out quite a bit higher than I was hoping, but brand name filament in the PLA+ spec seems to be quite a bit more expensive than I remembered. On top of that each mount takes me at least 2 days to produce on my old 3d printer.
Should you be interested in different color combinations feel free to contact me. Currently I'm limited in what I can print, but I'm planning to replace my old printer in the coming months to allow for all the options.
