CAN_InitStructure.CAN_Prescaler = 299; //This is BRP reg - can be between 1 and 1024...BRP = what is in reg + 1 (1 starts at 0)

This isn't the BRP register, the SPL subtracts ONE, you don't do it here. If you're dividing the APB clock by 300, use 300

Do you have two CAN nodes? Loopback will work with one node but otherwise you need two in order for transmit to work properly. A single node will see transmit errors and stop. Look at your transmit error count.

Are you using a STM32F042Fx or STM32F042Gx device? If so you need to remap PA11/12 instead of pin pair PA9/10 using the SYSCFG_CFGR1 register. Page 174 of the reference manual (RM0091).

Do you have terminators on the bus?

I have some code that has the CAN module correctly working at 125Kbit/s on a STM32F042K device, but it's all in assembler.

Clive - thanks for the response. You are right that TS1/TS2 and BRP define BTR. But that specific part of the initialization initialized the BRP portion doesn't it? When the structure is initialized it is combined with TBS1 (TS1) and TBS2 (TS2) to define CAN_BTR as shown by figure 317 of reference manual. I didn't notice that the init structure automatically subtracts 1 though (for BPR)! Thanks for that!
