[Ovmsdev] GPS theft alert

[Michael Balzer]

Craig,

when connecting my bench module to my Arduino CAN shield, I need to add 
a terminal resistor in between. Did you try that?

You could then test if can2 & can3 are also affected. can1 is the 
internal bus of the ESP32 module, can2/3 are external MCP2515 buses 
accessed via SPI.

If it's can1 only, you could try running some CAN tester using the 
latest esp-idf driver. Maybe there are differences between the hardware 
revisions, revision 1 has some hardware bugs in the CAN controller as well.

 From a first look into the current esp-idf master, there is now a HAL 
for CAN (now called TWAI "two-way async interface" for whatever reason), 
and there seem to be some differences between the revisions. But AFAICT 
only minor ones:

Regards,
Michael
