Hi there, i wrote a program that runs in a loop.
If i run it the first time, everything is working fine. It communicate with the second computer, turns the redpower on / off for the side what i choose.. like i sad, runs fine.
If i run it the second time i get this error on line 92… attemt to call string
main.lua (computer id 7)
switch.lua (computer id 8)
would be really great if someone could help me, i really can't figure out why this happen and how i could fix it.
