Sending a message without connection to the bus results in ACK errors. Even if the MCP2515 manual states that the error interrupt will only be triggered if the error state of the transmitter or receiver has changed, it triggers much more often... on every bus error, I suspect. Do you see that problem with the MCP2517 as well? Wolfgang.
