I found inspiration from Cadet Pedals - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4655002.
Seeking enhanced resistance and progression in the pedals, I concluded that pneumatics were the optimal solution.
This necessitated a more durable design. Thus, I completely redesigned everything.
I integrated bearings to ensure seamless movement and crafted a custom bushing for the pedals, which, when adequately lubricated, offers fluid motion for every toe brake.
Ultimately, I opted for Hall-effect sensors for their superior accuracy and longevity.
I used the Arduino Joystick library for PC connectivity.
With the print files I provided:
Assemby drawings/instructions
Arduino source code
Wiring diagram
For the main damper is used CD85N16, 50mm stroke which I purchased in this link:

For the Tobrake dampers I used 18X8, 200mm-60mm Stroke Gas spring 50Nm Type B:

Bearings are plain ball bearings 608-2RS 22mm:
