Spektrum Programmer

Spektrum Programmer allows you to configure settings, load model presets, and update the software on your receiver or transmitter.

To connect a receiver:

  1. Open Spektrum Programmer from the Start Menu or Desktop.
  2. Plug the USB programmer cable (SPMA3065) into the computer and plug the cable into the PROG or DATA port of the receiver.
  3. Supply power to the receiver with a battery.
  4. If the receiver shares the DATA port with the throttle pin (like the SR2100, AR410, and AR620), click the Connect button.

To connect a transmitter:

  1. Open Spektrum Programmer from the Start Menu or Desktop.
  2. Plug the USB programmer cable (SPMA3065) into the computer and plug the cable into the servo port on the back of the transmitter (above the trainer port).
  3. Turn on the transmitter.
