Solution 38065: TI-Basic Program does not work as expected when Lua Script is running on Mac OSX using TI-Innovator™ Hub.

Why does the TI-Basic Program not work as expected when Lua Script is running on Mac OSX using TI-Innovator Hub?

Example: Perform the following while Lua Script is running:

1) Open up Calculator page.
2) Enter command: Send “BEGIN".
3) Enter command: Send “SET LIGHT ON“.

The light blinks on the TI-Innovator Hub even though the light should remain on.

Lua script authors should avoid using Lua scripts and TI-BASIC programs to simultaneously talk to TI-Innovator by resetting using a Begin command at the beginning and end of document. Disconnecting the TI-Innovator hub reestablishes port and reconnects the hub by closing the background Lua task

To work around this issue if it occurs, please disconnect the TI-Innovator hub, close the Lua script and reconnect.
