[Does anyone know how to add tmc2130 drivers to umo+?]

Currently using one of the UM2 Clone PCB's on my system, and replaced the 4988's with 2100's. It runs flawlessly.

 

I had to change the mode to Spreadcycle, which is about 10% louder than the Stealthchop mode, but the noise difference is still incredible compared to the 4988.

You replaced all those SMD parts?

 

@gr5: Thanks for the info! I looked at eBay and Aliexpress but the only boards with sockets that I can find are RAMPS derivates. I could use one of those of course.

 

So then the options are:

• Smoothieboard, but I'm having trouble finding out how to get a smoothieboard to connect with tmc2130's, and until the Smoothieboard 2 is out I can't buy a stock Smoothieboard with Trinamic drivers...
• Duetwifi: I'm researching if a DuetWifi would work well, seems people are using those boards with ultimakers. And it comes with Trinamic drivers by default so that would be the easiest option.
• Ramps: cheapest option, but a bit dated, not sure if it's really that bad.

As you may know, Trinamic stepper motor drivers are a lot quieter than the original A4988 drivers, so I ordered a few tmc2130 boards. I thought there was a tutorial to do this (here: 

 ) but that is for the UMO not the UMO+. So now I'm sitting at my desk with my umo+ and a few tmc2130 drivers... Does anyone know how to do this upgrade? Should I get a new board?
