hm29168,

I think I was getting the same error. I believe the error had to do with saturating the serial port (or maybe the 2CAN in your case?). Put a wait statement in your main loop. Use the code Wait(x); where x is the number of seconds and is a float. If you try to send commands too quickly, you will end up with jittery motors and a lot of those errors because the serial port can't send the data out as fast as you can write to the serial port itself.
