Dear Michael,

although it does not help you too much now, we, the apps_team share 
your frustration about the full-CAN mode. The fact that it does not 
work as expected is fairly new and we are still investigating the 
best work around. 

Members of this group have had problems with the Full CAN mode and we 
did not want them to waste additional time. Usually we try to post 
problems together with a work-around, unfortunately this time, we are 
still working to ge tthe work-around ready to go. It is going to be 
an Application Note how to use the CAN in a mode I would call 
extended Basic-CAN. In close cooperation with CAN experts we hope to 
have something that will enable you to use the boards in a way you 
intended for teaching by the end of next week. 

In the unlikely event that this is not going to work for you, we will 
find another solution.

Sometimes it is a difficult decision to publish problems that are 
still under investigation in order to prevent the members of the 
group waisting time but at the same time we frustrate others like you 
at the moment :-(( if we publish without a resolution.  

Best regards, Robert
