    RAMPS being a 3D printed board is the wrong choice, so its not likely going to be easy.
    You'll need to look for a RAMPS compatible fork with Servo Support. UNO users can use GitHub - cprezzi/grbl-servo: Special Grbl version for use with servo instead of spindle or laser. but it won't work with a RAMPS.

    Consider a BlackBox: docs:blackbox-x32:connect-rc-servo [OpenBuilds Documentation] plug and play and firmware all ready to go
