Re: CAN-based delays

I haven't looked up the specific CAN algorithms, but this is a common problem on many baseband (shared) busses. A likely cause of the problem is your use of multiple threads all trying to ping CAN at the same time. If you wrote a dedicated CAN thread, then had all the subsystems that need it submit (possibly prioritized) requests to that one thread for processing, you may reduce collisions.
