Solution 37679: TI-Innovator™ Hub COLOR command executes incorrectly when sound is active.

Why does the COLOR command executes incorrectly when sound is active?

The COLOR command executes incorrectly when sound is active due to an internal design limitation with PWM. When sound is being played the SET COLOR command does not work. COLOR and SOUND are mutually exclusive. RGB and SPEAKER also play into this, since COLOR and SOUND are synonyms for RGB and SPEAKER base objects.

To workaround this limitation, your programs should wait until the SOUND/SPEAKER command completes before sending COLOR/RGB command to Innovator.
