Hello,
Please do ask all the stupid questions, as i am sure i am missing something simple. Altho i have restarted arduio after installation.
The example sketches do seem to work, however this is the library that was said will work with the sketch that i am trying to use.
I have had a look at the mcl_can.h file but to be honest i am not 100% sure how is would look if "CAN" was declared. see below:
