It’s connected but not driving… Ran Xloader, flashed all options in estlcam, Ramps worked for one stepper, then got down to using platformio and got failed. And my wires are not in the same orientations as any of the photos…? Thanks
I only ask because I had issues the other day, but do you have the correct driver installed from Ultimachine? I also can’t see in the pic if you have your DC power jumpered at the main connector to both motors and logic?

Good. The firmware compiled from MarlinBuilder releases has been tested a lot.
You can use estlcam to generate gcode, but not connect to the rambo. Flashing from estlcam with erase marlin and install a broken firmware on the rambo. You don’t have a ramps. Reflash using xloader, and don’t flash with estlcam or platformio.
Disconnect the endstops completely until you have the motors running. Each endstop has a positive, negative, and signal. You need to be careful that you never short the positive and the negative through the switch. The recommended way (that the firmware expects) is to use only the negative and signal pins, never the positive.
This is only an issue with windows 7. Windows 8+, mac, and linux all work without a driver.
Use cncjs or repetier host to connect to control it.
