CSM2

I have ordered a data driver the 2001a to remove the CSM2's from the equation.  

Follow up.  I have found the issue and it did lie with the CSM2 a matter a fact both of them.  I purchased two new ones and had no issues.

I’m having the same issue. Just got another CSM2 and still can’t program a Single machine. I was really hoping this would work. Anyone have a idea of what I could try?

You have to give the CSM2 an address first. Push the program button on the CSM2 and give it a switch ID. Then the First DZ2500 (the one that goes in switch sense terminal 1) gets the SAME ID as the CSM2. Proceed up sequentially in numbers from there. Theres an example in the manual.

I set one up last week and had absolutely no issues getting it to take any addresses. I did not use the breakout boards. It may have even been easier than doing it with a 2001 on a SER2. 

@Boilermaker1 thanks for the reply but I have done that to both CSM2’s and still nothing I do have the breakout boards but have attempted it direct to the DZ-2500 still nothing after in program mode it just continues to rapid flash never acknowledging the command of SW 1 Aux1 

What Transformer are you using?  I still occasionally had issues with my ZWL switched all of the switches to my old block and now things are working perfectly.

I’m using a CW-80 that’s an idea I’ll try my old 1033 tonight

I tried my Lionel 1033 instead of the CW-80 but no change is there any "easy" way to confirm that the CSM2 is working and/or the DZ-2500 machines?
