Project help

Hello in trying to use TMC drives with a Mini CNC mill. the control simply has step and dir output. I know i can run them in standalone mode but wonder if there is a project out there where an Arduino could be set up to just configure the drive and show status on a mini OLED. but the step and dir signal come from the CNC control I know 3d printer software is an all-in-one solution, but Mach3(CNC mill software) has no support. if there was a way to simply have a separate Arduino plug into the UART/SPI and handle the config only that would enable CNC mills to take advantage of more features such as setting stall guard and using the Diag pinout for homing switch input etc. Has this been done? If not I would be willing to pay for help to make this a reality. i Imagine a small box with OLED that can simply plug into the Uart/spi and a few menu buttons and leave the step/dir to the CNC motion controller. Some features I would like to use would be sensorless homing, spread cycle threshold, current, micro-stepping resolution. Thanks for any help and input.

I think it would work well with these holders. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LMSYXVF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
