Here you have some in-depth specifications:

5.25" and 3.5" doesn't differ interface wise.

Here's the pinout:

Pay attention to these signals:
Select drive
Head select
Enable motor Step direction
Step signal
Read data
Track-0

What is the objective .. ?

The objective is to create a floppy drive. Not a
