This is a long overdue answer... I spent a lot of time fidling around with the TMC2130s... douh... never stop a running system... and... I couldn't get them running... partially yes...
Now I switched to the DRV8825 (1/32 microstepping).
Whats the main difference? Well... Its cheaper (5 of them for about 15 €) and they are also "very" silent... Of course not to compare with the TMCs silent mode but coming from an A4988 it is definitly a difference between night and day, and I really would recommend everyone that builds a 3D printer to buy those, because of the good cost-value ratio...
Anywas... I am happy with that one...
Regarding TMC2130s cooling. I have the original ones from Waterott, I Placed the heat sink on the holes you can see in the link below. That should be right?
I am using a 12V system... people say with 24V it should be fine/better...
