Hi,

I was trying to compile this code. However, I am receiving an error message "cannot declare variable 'CAN' to be of abstract type".

I have downloaded the concerned library for mcp_can.
I have referred this website for this code Arduino MCP2515 CAN Bus Interface Tutorial - CAN Protocol

Kindly help us resolving this issue.

MCP_CAN CAN(spiCSPin); Which physical device do you intend using?

e.g.mcp2518fd CAN(SPI_CS_PIN);

You need to auto format the code and add a few line feeds , that would make it more easily readable too
