 === How to install ===
-===== TMC2100 =====
+Basic Installation is fairly straightforward:
+  * Remove old drivers
+  * Remove all jumper connectors underneath the old drivers
+  * Install the new drivers
+  * Add a fan to blow over the drivers
+  * Invert the direction of the motors in the firmware
+  * [[https://jgaurorawiki.com/a5/stepper-drivers#tuning-tmc2xxx-stepper-drivers|Tune the stepper driver Vref]]
+NOTE: the orientation of the new drivers is different to the factory ones. Make sure you match up the pinout with the old drivers to ensure you insert them correctly.
+There is a good video guide of how to install the TMC2130 in the section below - it is recommended to watch this as the installation of the TMC2100 is the same as the "standalone" installation of the TMC2130.
+===== TMC2130 =====
 === Where to Buy ===
+There are a few options for configuring the TMC2130, and as a result there are range of modules that come preconfigured for different operation modes. Changing the mode requires some very delicate soldering, so it is best to buy the module preconfigured for the way you want to use it.
