Guide to BUS CAN ? Help for beginners

[Bretagne]

Hello

We are going to try a communication between two 18f448 via a CAN Bus to test the connection of PIC to the CAN network.

We use 2 easypic4 + MCP2551

We would like just to send a data (2 bytes) from one to the other.

The 2nd node should respond by sending back the data incremented by 1. This (1st) node then does the same and sends incremented data back to 2nd node, etc.

Someone has this kind of source codes in his pocket ?...

Or maybe something similar ??

Thanks
