[Ovmsdev] How do I run candump

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

You probably got the speed wrong. When in active mode, the system will actively respond to messages on the bus, and if the baud rate is wrong that messes things up.

In listen mode, the system won’t write to the CAN bus at all, so is more tolerant to baud rate mismatch (you will get garbage messages instead).

Regards, Mark.
