CAN transmit strategy can be improved

[bertbroer]

Dear @foxBMS team,

Not so much an bug here, but something that IMHO can be improved.

The current strategy for sending CAN messages is to put periodic messages on the transmit queue when they can't be sent. Single shot messages are not placed on the queue when they can't be sent.

I think this should be the other way around. Periodic messages will be sent again every x milliseconds. So if one misses it's generally not the end of the world. Single shot messages are lost however, when the transmit mailboxes are full. The chances of this happening also increases when periodic messages with short time periods are placed on the queue continuously.

Kind regards,
Bert

Dear @bertbroer,

thanks for your feedback.
This looks like something we should improve and we tend to agree with your suggestion.
We come back once we have a agreed internally on the desired behavior.

Best regards,
