Idea to adapt smartknob for DJ Controller

[koblue]

I saw this project and wondered if it could be used as the basis for a DJ controller?

CDJs and the all-in-one controllers have static jog wheels for adjusting the music playback. I generally don't like this so use a digital vinyl system on actual turntables.

There are some higher end controllers, either integrated units or turntable-replacements, that do have motorised platters to replicate the "pull" of moving vinyl. This is especially important for scratch DJs. (see Rane One & Twelve, Pioneer DDJ REV7 & PLX-CRSS12)

Theres the existing project: https://github.com/rasteri/SC1000 but this is not motorised.

Given the smartknob is basically a motor and sensors, as are the platters on these controllers, is it too far away from being able to do this?

I lack the coding chops to try this myself (I just play tunes 😀 ) but I thought I'd throw the idea out there.
