MCP2515 CAN Bus Risk Mitigation Questions

ilguargua:
Reading the datasheet I'll find the way to go, pag. 57 - Modes of operation . Listen only mode is what you are looking for, after setted the chip will not attempt to send any data, including the ack.

Ciao, Ale.

Excellent, thank you. I'll look more into it tonight, but from first glance, CANCTRL seems to be exactly what I'm after.

And, good news about the ack. Previously, I saw online where someone had desired listen-only mode with ack...which to me, is not listen-only mode. I like the feeling of knowing that I'm not sending anything to the CAN bus since the CAN bus seems to be some sort of deep dark magic that I do not wish to fully understand.
