Board » Technical Support » Brainaid download applet not showing on Navigation page

Hi, have been reinstalling Chrome etc, but now find the button on the Brainaid Navigation page used to download the NMEA data applet is not showing. I believe I also got a Java update when reinstalling Chrome.

I have run Internet Explorer, but the same issue is apparent.

I kept my old applet (the jnlp file for SWR leg 3) and it still opens and runs okay. It just seems to be the download button which has disappeared.

I did an 'inspect element' search on the Brainaid page and it showed two errors.
1. Uncaught TypeError : deployJava.js:1 undefined is not a function
and 2. Uncaught TypeError : Cannot set property 'launchButtonPNG' of undefined.

All double Dutch to me, but maybe explains something to those who understand.
Thanks
John (Dingo)

No takers? I have the same issue
This may not work for all versions, but if you still have Internet Explorer installed, this may work for you.

Go to brainaid's Sol toolbox and log in as you would normally and go to the Navigation page. Then press F12 (or go to Tools - Development tools menu) to open the, wait for it, Development Tools window. On the Tools window, select the Script tab. In the left-hand column, select and copy (CTRL-C) the 3rd line ("function my_write(t)..."). Make sure you copy the entire line. Now go and paste it in the text field in the lower right-hand corner and click on "Run script" to make the applet appear on the navigation page. (You may have to click "Single line mode" for the text field to appear.)

HTH,
Philip

Thanks Schakel, I have Internet Explorer as well. If I open that, and F12, I get the Toolbox okay, but no tab called Script. If I put the word 'function' in the search box, then I get, under the DOM Explorer tab, a number of tabs at the bottom including script. In there I can see the line: function my_write(t){var c = document.getElementsById

but I don't think I'm in the right location of the Toolbox to either copy or paste this.

Sorry, not used to this type of computer work. :)

cheers
John

Thanks all again, have got a temporary work-around from Kroppyer, but still puzzled as to the root cause of this problem.
The workaround:

Fill in
- your brainaid-token (can be seen in the url when you're logged in at brainaids toolbox: the part after ?sid= is your token),
- the race number (can be seen in the url of the client (windy/run/xxx/), and also in the racedescription (Race #xxx)
- your boatname
in the url below:
sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/
toolbox/NMEAproxy.jnlp?sid=YOURTOKENHERE&
race=RACEID&
boat=BOATNAME&
file=NMEAproxy.jnlp


example:
sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox/
NMEAproxy.jnlp?sid=d41d8cd98f00b204e980099
8ecf8427e&race=787&boat=kroppyer&file=
NMEAproxy.jnlp

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
