Must have another device read the bus. #21

This was killing me to debug.

I started in this configuration:
No Pican installed on CAN bus

This is the code for the two feathers:

RECEIVE ONLY:

                print("RTR_LEN:", msg.length)
            next_message = mcp.read_message()

Without the pican hooked up this is what happens
putty output from send (left) // receive (right)

Connecting the pican and having it read the messages from the bus.
works as intended

What the pican is doing is simply reading the messages from the bus. without the pican attached the example programs provided on https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_MCP2515/tree/1.1.2/examples do not work at any baudrate. With the pican attached and reading from the bus they work at 1000000 baud.
