Hi,
A stuff error is when 6 or more bits are detected with the same value. The CAN especification uses bit stuffing. If the transmitter detects a bit string of more that five bits with the same value, it will add a bit of the complementary bit value.
According to the CAN spec"
"STUFF ERROR
A STUFF ERROR has to be detected at the bit time of the 6th consecutive equal bit
level in a message field that should be coded by the method of bit stuffing."
Check the
Bosch CAN homepage for the specification document.
