Step by step walk through of how to update firmware for NX Series Transmitters! Spektrum Transmitters and Receivers: (Affiliate Link) Owners Manual PDF: www.spektrumrc.com/ProdInfo/F... #Spektrum #Tutorial #Howto
Hello hope your having a great Father's day, just wanted to pass along something I discovered using my hot spot to connect with my NX 8 transmitter we had chatted before on this and I found that disabling the password on my hot spot was the fix on my cellphone so just a FYI for you ,my hot spot didn't like using a password everything is updated and working well thanks for your help with Happy Flying 😀
Finally after numerous attempts, finally got past the eternal “thumbs twiddling “ and got the update done. Hopefully it fixes the numerous problem with my NX10. If you have a DX9 do not upgrade to the NX series. Glad I kept my DX9 as a backup. Hopefully soon I can get a VBar and be rid of Spektrum and Horizon forever.
Once you get radio updated ,its good equipment. I have owned several and setup multiple NX for others with out issue.Sometimes there is small issues that owners have occurred.
@@BDTennessee Small issues can bring down a helicopter pretty quick. Now the I have the update done, I was programming throttle curves for one of my helicopters when something very peculiar happened, The numbers I programmed in all 3 modes, suddenly changed on their own to a bunch of random numbers and while I was trying to figure out what happened they all changed back to what I had set. If that happened during a flight, it would not be good. I have some pretty expensive models programmed in to this transmitter that I cannot put at risk.
I agree small issues can mess you up.However the updates were mostly user improvements. Values only change when a condition is changed (ie switch moved,flight mode changed,etc). If you feel there is a issue.Id mention your experience on the Spektrum NX Transmitter thread on RCG. Here is the link: www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3732835-Spektrum-NX-Transmitters
@@BDTennessee Thanks but I think it’s a waste of time, warranty has expired and I’m not paying to fix it. Would rather put the money into buying a better quality transmitter. When a flat curve set at 80% suddenly goes to: 25-57-32-74-61 without touching a switch, that’s a serious problem. Appreciate the help but this thing is going in the trash.
Just as you said my battery died during update-- ugh---and it seemed to lock up. I downloaded updates to a SD card 1 at a time and did a hard boot up-- all seemed to take-- thank god
You could definitely call me a "newby" to RC (since I've been out of the hobby for 24 years! LOL. And I never flew electrics until now. That said, your videos have been worth their weight in gold as they say! I have so many of your videos saved to use for reference. Your info is straight forward and easy to understand. Thank you so much!! Keep those videos coming. If I can ask...,what part of TN are you in? I'm in the Murfreesboro area. Thanks again!!
Hello just bought the NX10 so your videos are very helpful. My question is when I search for updates several updates appears, do I have to update one by one until I reach the latest one or do I just updates to the latest version that appears ??….Thanks
Can you update the firmware with the NX-8 transmitter being charged using the WiFi mode? Or does it have to be using the charged battery in the transmitter?
I have followed the steps in your video for my NX-8 TX. I can get as far as connecting to the WIFI, then when scrolling down to the "Check for Updates" it skips over that selection to "Disconnect" and shuts down. I have tried several times and get the same results, it just won't let me get into the update position. What is wrong?
What if it’s been awhile and there’s multiple updates available? Do I need to start with the oldest version or just download the latest version? Thanks
Hi just wondering if you could help, I updated my nx6 via wifi and no longer have working wifi and model description has gone in bnf models, battery is charged. Tired sd card does not work either I have updated to 3.05 trying to update to 3.06 thanks
Need to delete out the old networks. Also the BNF templates info is messed up currently. SD card method,download update from your Spektrum account,insert card in NX6,then power up...
so what do you do when you try to update, you can get into wifi and it says success- then you scroll down to "check for updates" and the list is blank and the radio locks up every single time? i have to pull the battery to hardboot it. would love to get to the most current firmware as i am running 3.06.02
When I get to selecting the WiFi selectionI want to use there are 4 selections, MTV, the old Telephone Modem WiFi and my network but there are 2 of my Wifi networks listed. I have tried either one of my listed networks which are the same name but get the same results as before. Unable to select the Update selection. I'm befuddled. Is there a way to de-select a WiFi listed on the transmitter? I don't know if that may be the issues but my son is here and he is a computer expert and he can't do any better than I have.
I am about to take the decision of buying one. Since you have one for over a year now, do you think it worth it over an old first gen DX8, do they have isues with the NX10, etc... By the way, your videos are well made and I learn a lot from them. Thanks dude for the work, I know what it is! Have a nice day!
No doubt NX10 is worth getting over DX8 Gen 1,i still have mine too :D Never had issues with my NX10. Also i have setup many others and friends have them without issue either. Thanks for the feedback! Use the link in description if you pic one up.Helps the channel.Thanks
@@BDTennessee I live in Canada. So, sadly, It doesn't work using your links. Border fees, shipping fees, money exchange, garanties, etc... 😑 But I give you thumbs up each time I watch your vids... 😁
Mine just sits at the Wifi Settings (Thumb Twiddling) "Loading" Screen forever when Trying to Login or Register and I don't have access to the Check for updates screen. Not sure but I have a blue light connected to the wifi.
It took me 5 times to get it to download and kept saying disconnected and kept trying and then it finally dowloaded idk passwords and all login is good but its not that easy to get this to update but after many tries it finally says download
I havent tried it but i think you would be able too.Only difference in wifi and mobile hotspot is the source and device. Home internet from router and Phone data internet from mobile device. Hotspot will probably take longer as the speeds are slower.
@@BDTennessee Thats what I am thinking would be a shame if a man couldn't utilize the wifi feature makes things much easier 🤔. I may contact Horizon and see what they have to say about that .
My NX8 was about 4 updates behind when I unboxed it. I downloaded 3.05 first followed by 3.06. Did I need to download updates before 3.05 or did that update bundle up the previous updates?
Hi BD, I hope you can assist. Did a update to the latest Spektrum NX version. This resulted in issues with: - Audio now is slow and it is like it stutter - NX 8 closed down very slowly when I turn off - In some cases the text cannot follow the roller Any solutions. I installed the old 3.03 - but issues are still there
Hi, I am a member of an Australian RC Plane club in Australia. I like the content used in your 40 training videos (WELL DONE). I seek one of two options: 1. could we place links to your videos on the club webpage, or 2. I can copy the video files and place links to these then locally stored files. Option 1 is simpler and I can ask a that a courtesy thank you in published in the area displaying the links. Regards Paul
Thanks for the compliment.Id be open to option one... Wouldnt be interested in option 2.What is the name of club webpage? "Courtesy thanks you" would be nice too :)
Hope you can help. Just updated to 3.10 and my crow braking is reversed on the right wing. Was fine until I updated. Tried to make a new acro and same problem: thanks in advance.
Just received my new NX8 and when I try installing the newest update which is 3.06 I believe it goes to the spectrum screen with status bar and then just flashes off and on and the status bar never moves? It says I have the 3.03 firmware
Issue is updating from 3.03 to 3.06 You will need to install 3.05 first if its in the radio or use the PC method to install update.Before you install updates from PC to SD card delete the 3.06 file on the SD card that it was attempting to install from Wifi.
After getting the WiFi signal and it said "connected to the network". After a few minutes the system puts up the message error code 2. and shuts down completely.
Hi BD Tennessee my wi-fi name doesn't show up because i have a hidden wi-fi name how can i connect it anyway? on the smartphone or other devices you can just add hidden networks and then connect. Thanks man
Hi BD Tennessee. Yes I did but if I set it back to hidden it can't find it anymore. So I think if I need the wi-fi on the NX8, I have to take it out of the hidden mode. thanks for thinking along I really appreciate it.
I updated mine today and now it wont turn on the screen just flashes the spektrum logo and then shuts off. I have a full battery and now its not working?
Probably went from 3.04 or older update straight to 3.06? Thats a issue currently.Normally dont have to do in order... Spektrum has this posted on the website...
@@BDTennessee yeah I have done it in the correct sequence. I just dont get this stuff anymore I keep my planes on a back sd card but and they should just have a hard factory reset to correct this. Idk if I have to send it in then my season is done for this year. im so pissed off
@@BDTennessee I got it fixed I had to revert to the previous version via the sd card and then plug the card in and hit the power button and then it started to upload and now its running great and I then did again the newest version and its all good. I was getting so pissed and now im back in business. Thanks for everything.
@@DronemanJoeRc awesome! Glad you got it worked out. Thats exactly how you have to do it! I agree sometimes things little harder than they should be at times. Holla anytime!
How do I enter my password after entering it? I enter all the letters, but can't find a way to enter the p/w into the log in page. the manual doesn't explain it.
Click on network. Next screen enter password and back out and then push connect.It says what you typed in and puts the asterics so someone cant see password.
@@BDTennessee 1. Select network 2. put in p/w. 3. click on "back" 4. Goes to log in page with a blank p/w line. 5. Click on "Connect" 6. P/w line stays blank, and the screen eventually says "Authentication error." This is a new radio.
@@bricestultz1724 if the password doesnt have a line of asterics it didnt accept. Also the passwords are case sensitive. Some people have reported issue with doing it over wireless.I have done several radios and no issues tho
Hello I just received my new NX8 and trying to register it , when I put my password in from the password prompt nothing happens how do I enter my password am I missing something note I am using mobile hot spot for my connection thanks 😊
@@onapproachrc5471 is the blue signal light lit up? When you click on login does it allow name and password? When you enter password, you click the "back box". Once you have done that you can click register.
@@onapproachrc5471 so its not connected to a signal.When your connected to wifi or mobile hotspot the signal logo will illuminate blue. Thats why you cant log in to Spektrum cause radio isnt connected to online.
