2018-02-10 00:09:01 - Sol/Brainaid/Expedition
Coming back to Expedition (and SoL, to be fair) and after a few years away, and I cannot figure out how to connect Brainaid's NMEA to Expedition. I have no issues with QTVLM. Can someone put me out of my misery please?

I do not have expedition.
But maybe this works?
In Expedition use the settings menu to select Instruments->Number of network connections. Then add a connection. Now in the Instruments->Serial and Network Ports you can choose TCP client and configure for ip-fill in address shown in brainaids nmea proxy port 5010

found in http://expedition.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=228

(I tried it in unlicenced expedition version but got message that could not be done in unlicensed etc.)

I seem to be having a similar problem. I can see the NMEA proxy tab and I am using the 192.168.0.3 IP and the 5010 port, but no data is showing on EXP. any ideas?

Try always using 127.0.0.1 in Expedition no matter what the brainaid proxy gives you. And port 5010, yes.

Did anybody figure out how this worked? Just curious. Just did my first SOL race but couldn't figure out how to connect NMEA data.

My settings (that aren't working)

Instrument: NMEA 0183
Connection: TCP Client
Address: 127.0.0.1
Port: 5010

Command: Inserted brainaid link

Any help would be very much appreciated!

This year, for the first time, we will be racing the 300nm circuit in Sun Fast 3200s. As usual, there is an overall prize for the SOLer who best bosses Lake Ontario over the two races hosted by Sailonline, this LO300 and the Susan Hood raced back in May, and this year also the race and the Susan Hood count towards the title of Super Buddy 2026; so, let the competition be fierce!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!
