2013-07-30 06:30:51 - QtVlm router and Brainaid's NMEA proxy
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

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/

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

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

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
