OK, here's an odd one that I'm still trying to figure out! I fired up the layout this morning, all was well, switches all working in command mode, etc. Fast forward about 15 minutes, and I hit the master power to turn everything off to tinker with my TT wiring (no shorts, just fixing something). Turn the master power back on, and none of the switches are recognizing TMCC commands!
NOTHING CHANGED EXCEPT A POWER CYCLE!
I can see the LED's blinking on all the CSM2 boxes for each switch command, so I have to presume the commands are going out. I even checked one of the switch serial data inputs on the CSM2 breakout board with my 'scope and the data is there for the switch command.
If I power cycle a time or two, eventually switch operation will come back! Once of the reasons for separating the serial data between three CSM2 boxes was for debugging, and to localize any DZ-2500 switch machine that might be stepping on the serial data. However with this failure, ALL the switches stop recognizing serial data no matter which CSM2 they're getting their serial data from!
Anyone else see stuff like this with this combination?
