I'm using the MCP2515 Demo boards from Microchip. I thought about that being an issue but it can't be because their code doesn't require a reset. If I was able to understand C I'd be able to solve this problem as they provide the source code to you. I'm pretty sure I copied the configs line-for-line from the source code. Anyhow, here it is:

Code:
