HOW TO: Perform G2 Update on Gen 1 Spektrum Smart Chargers with Driver Fix
Thanks for tuning in to The RC Air Marshall KZfaq Channel!
In this video we cover the steps to update your Spektrum Smart Charger. While this is aimed at the Gen 1 to G2 firmware update, these same steps will work for all future updates as well. These steps will work on all Gen 1 Smart Chargers, however, the method of connection to your PC may differ. This focuses on using the USB to Serial adapter (SPMXCA100) which is the most complex of the PC interfaces. If you have an S120 or S1100 you can simply plug a USB cable from the PC to the charger.

I realize it's kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released movies online ?

@Milan Ahmad try Flixzone. Just google for it :)

Thanks Dave. Didn't want to have to invest in a new charger right away but have recently purchased a Horizon product that came with a G2 battery and the little S120. The S120 must come with the firmware update already installed because it charges the 11.1V 850mAh 3S 30C G2 Smart LiPo that came with the heli just fine. Just wanted to charge using an AC charger. Now I am a happy camper. Thanks again.

Thanks Air Marshall! USB to Serial adapter (SPMXCA100) Is what I need then.

Looking to buy this charger and now that I know how easy it is and that it turns into a G2, I think I will get it. Thanks Chief!

Thank you so much for your in depth explanation for us computer barely surviving types!! I was a little apprehensive and don't think I would've gotten out of this with all my hair if not for your video. Much appreciated, liked and subbed!!

Thanks for the video. Really help me out. Instead of buying the new G2 chargers I would rather spend it on the batteries.

Where can I find the new operating instructions for the s2100 after the update?

@DronemanJoeRc 3 жыл бұрын

I updated my s2100 charger so I can charge the g2 batts..ok I charged my two spektrum 6s batteries and took them out for a run. I tried to re-charge them and now they wont read or charge. it says balance cable not connected and they are connected. I plugged the batts into my spektrum smart checker and they dont even turn it on. Idk what to these batteries and they only have 6 charges on them. something is wrong any idea?? BTW all my other smart batteries charge just fine just these two???

Are these Gen 1 smart packs you’re having problems with? Or G2 6S packs?

Hello Dave! I am able to load the device driver, as I can see it in the device manager under PORTS (COM & LPT) as USB SERIAL CH340 (COM 9). But when I run the SCU application, the application will not find the XPMXCA100. I have re-installed the driver several times and it always shows up in the device manager correctly, but the SCU program will not recognize it. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Regards

Hope they’ll be back in stock soon. The new driver they have available should help with the issues people were having not being able to get them to connect

Still wont detect. Even after driver update. 3rd PC tried on. Either cable is toast or a bad charger :(

i am having the same problem, my cable seems to be working fine. Going to have to call horizon hobby to figure it out.

@@MultiDas123 I was able to get mine working. The problem was with the 'audio' end of the cable. It doesn't seem to plug in to the USB dongle far enough.
