Issue Details

I am using XNET to write CAN frames to my XNET card and I keep getting error 0xBFF63008 "A Write Queue Overflowed". Why am I getting this error and how do I fix it?

Solution

This error indicates that the writing queue for the CAN bus is overfilling, likely because the frames are not actually going out onto the bus. 

Troubleshooting steps:
  1. Ensure that the bus is powered if it requires power. It is recommended to use a breakout box .
  2. If possible perform a loopback test to ensure your device is operating properly.
  3. Ensure that there is a device "listening".
  4. Be sure to Start the XNET session. If Auto start is set to False, then you will have to manually start the XNET frames sending out on the bus.
