[Ovmsdev] OVMS CAN-USB Call for Assistance

[Mastro Gippo]

Sorry Brian, I misunderstood what you said, english is not my main
language. As for the mcp2551, it's just a transceiver, you don't need
any libraries. The can logic is embedded in the device. That said, on
the mbed the library allows you to just declare a CAN channel with

CAN can1(p9, p10);

and write a message with :

can1.write(CANMessage(1337, &counter, 1));

see the example on http://mbed.org/handbook/CAN
