	Hi, I have been browsing this forum and Google for assistance in connecting Brainaid's NWEA proxy to the QtVlm router but have not found any relevant information. Has anyone managed to achieve this, and would they be prepared to share the info? many thanks John (SarahWilson)

	John, have you looked at Aaron's stuff. http://soltools.wordpress.com/bwr/ Phillip (Shackel) had some really good stuff on his site. But for some reason the page is now password protected. Still looking for his email. So far found this (which has some other good info): http://sailonline.org/community/profile/7407/ --- Last Edited by Jack Watson at 2013-08-01 01:43:14 --- --- Last Edited by Jack Watson at 2013-08-01 01:55:27 ---

	Morning Jack, and others. After some assistance from Dikkehenk and Go4iT and a bit of playing around on my own, I found a work around. My main problem seemed to be caused by being on a 64 bit system. In principle: 1. Start up brainaid's proxy, which runs quite happily on my 64 bit Windows 7 with Java 7. Others have had to revert to Java 6 I know. 2. Install NavmonPC and set the File>Connections to virtual ports A,B,C, using port COM5. Check that data is coming through okay, using the 'Monitor' button. 3. Install Franson GPSGate 2.6 and Franson SerialTools Run Time. 4. Start up QT. Under Boat>Settings, enter Serial Port as COM5. Under Options>Settings>gps, enter COM5 as the serial port. 5. Click 'Start GPS' on the left hand side of the QT window. cheers John

	SW Please provide more details of your set up to my email as new laptop is proving a problem.

	Good to hear! For the benefit of others reading this thread, I can no longer, since last month, log in the brainaid NMEA proxy whilst using Windows 7 and Java 7. Perhaps sometime one day, it will possible to do this again if it is updated.

	I have used Java 6 with Brainaid for some time, I just have to remember not to let Windows update me!

	Yes, that's right, but I have concerns about computer security using old versions of Java, so I don't.

	Hi all, I have fixed a problem with Cookie management inside the NMEAproxy, this should work with Java 7 now. You will still get a warning about unknown publisher, as I do not have an officially signed certificate... Please re-test with Java 7 and report your success or failure. Thanks a lot! Cheers, Eddie _/)_/)_/) The sea is lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to sail before I sleep, And miles to sail before I sleep.

	Eddie, heartfelt thanks...all working well, and nice to have Java 7 running on the computer again. cheers John --- Last Edited by SarahWilson at 2013-10-30 10:03:24 ---

Port Huron to Chicago 2024

At the end of the third quarter of the ARCH series, we invite you to participate in a nice regatta with RC44 on the Great Lakes in the USA. We sail 460nm from Port Huron across the lakes to Chicago.
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

The Beagle in Tahiti 2024

Leaving the Galapagos behind, the course was west again, and by November 15th the Beagle reached Tahiti. Like Gauguin, sixty years later, Darwin found the natives, recently Christianized, pleasant and intelligent, but unlike Gauguin, this did not persuade him or his captain, Fitzroy, to tarry long. Let’s have a sail-around in 2024 anyway; 640nm, as ever in the Class B Tall Ship HMS Beagle.

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!
