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

Feb 24, 2020

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.
