Reset a Spider to factory defaults using the serial console port and the Reset button

How can I set a Spider or Spider Duo to factory defaults?


  • Use the serial interface with a terminal emulator program set to
    • 9600 or 115200
    • 8 bit characters
    • No parity
    • 1 Stop bit
    • No flow control
  • Set your terminal emulator to 9600
  • Use a paperclip or something similar to push the reset switch thru the pinhole on the bottom of the Spider:

  • Press down and hold the esc-key then release the reset switch
  • The Spider should show a => prompt
  • Type the command 'defaults' at the => prompt
  • If you have an older Spider and can't get the => prompt after several tries at 9600, change the serial speed of your emulator to 115200 and try again
    • Earlier firmware sets the console port to 115200 by default.
