Using a ramp 1.4 shield with Arduino IDE without firmware

[jtukker]

I want to build a machine using three stepper motors triggered by a Hx711 module (load sensor)

to control the motors easily i want to use a ramp 1.4 shield

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the motors and the Hx711 module without using Marlin or GRBL software.

So just typing the code in Arduino IDE
If so, what pin numbers should I use in the software that correspond to the numbers on the shield?

For example, on which pin is AUX 1 or endstop X min and X max

Yes, you can a RAMPS 1.4 shield with your own code.

I have also seen this image, but how can I connect a load cell (Hx711) to, for example, AUX 1. which number of the pins is, for example, D0 or D1

[DaveX]

That diagram shows AUX 1 to also have two other pins A3/D57 and A4/D58 :

i know, but how can i use D1 D0 A3 D57 A4 or D58 in the code?

[DaveX]

digitalRead(1); //  D1
digitalRead(0);
analogRead(A3);  // A3/D57 
digitalRead(57);
analogRead(A3);
analogRead(A4);
digitalRead(58);

is it really that simple? i will try again tomorrow. thanks for your help for now!
