How does the pins work

This list is made with only mentioning how it handles digital logic and interrupts

PinFunctionStatus
EN
Logic high to disable device output and indexer
Input, Internal pulldown
M0Set step mode
Input, Internal pulldown
M1Set step modeInput, Internal pulldown
M2Set step modeInput, Internal pulldown
RSTLogic low to reset indexer and disable output
Input, Internal pulldown
SLPLogic low to enter low-power sleep
Input, Internal pulldown
STPRising edge move stepper one step
Input, Internal pulldown
DIRLogic level sets direction
Input, Internal pulldown
FLTLogic low when in fault condition
Output, open-drain, pullup to sleep pin

Limit switch:

PinFunctionStatus
1Endstop, need interrupt pin preferably
Output, Normaly Open

This means that we need 8 outputs that doesn't have fixed pullups and can handle boot with pulldowns on the pins. And 2 interrupt inputs with at least one that has a pullup.

As seen in the list below this means that D3 and D4 need to be inputs and one of the serial lines as output.

NodeMCU v1.0 Amica ESP-12E:
