Collection of information about TMC2130 stepper driver boards.
And in particular; how to use solder jumpers on the driver board to switch between Standalone mode and SPI mode on TMC2130 driver boards

On-chip 5V regulator

Please note that there is an internal 5V linear regulator, on the chip itself, and the about 20mA that the logic on the chip uses, will cause the following heat dissipation at different stepper supply voltages[1].

  • 0.1W @ VM=12V
  • 0.3W @ VM=24V
  • 0.6W @ VM=36V
  • 0.8W @ VM=45V

So a heat sink, that can help remove this heat from the board/chip, should always be used.

Good Heat Sink sizes. The bigger the better:

  • Heatsink 9 x 9 x 12mm [2]
  • Heatsink 14,5 x 15 x 13mm [3]

Hmmm... the Fysetec wiki is not very informative, but it seems that V1.0 is set up for Standalone mode, and V1.1 is set up for SPI mode. But perhaps it is just a question about changing a solder jumper.
It seems that V1.2 is prepared with some of the pins going up, so this version is very likely also set up for SPI mode.
