Greetings!
I have been away for a long time. I had collected lots of parts a year or 2 ago, but never got it up and running.
So I now have your latest firmware loaded in the IDE, I’m guessing my Ramps would be easiest to get going, I also have Wmos D1, ESP32, ESP8266 as well.
I need a little hand holding to get this running:-)
So what else do I need to do in the IDE?
1) In configuration.h, #define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_RAMPS
2) I don’t have the LCD so is this correct”
//#define HAS_LCD // if you have an LCD panel
//#define HAS_SD // if you have SD card support on your LCD panel (must be on panel?)// only uncomment one of these options
//#define LCD_IS_128X64 // reprapdiscount Full Graphic Smart LCD Controller
//#define LCD_IS_SMART // reprapdiscount Smart LCD Controller (including XXL model)3) Microsteps is 16, so 3 jumpers per A4988 driver.
4)I have 22 tooth pulleys so:
// Marginallyclever.com uses GT2 timing belt, which has 2mm teeth.
// We also use GT2-20 pulleys which have 20 teeth.
// 20*2 means the pitch is 40. (so, 22×2-44?)
#define PULLEY_PITCH (40.0) (should be 44)??Anything else I need to configure?
Thanks Dan!

What is the default distance between motors?
Where in the firmware do I set my canvas dimensions, or is that set in the software?
For the polargraph on the RAMPS Am I correct that the X motor is on the left, and the Y motor is on the right?
Thanks again!
I follow you on IG and it always inspires me to get this working. Just have to get over the first hump.

I did find a Full Graphic Smart LCD Controller so the display and SD are uncommented now.
My display is blank. but that may be a issue with the LCD and not firmware.
I ran your software, connected. and tried to start a drawing. Even with the display blank , I hit one of the buttons and I can see it running on my PC. Now to get the hardware running:-)
