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!

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said 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?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
