OK, good so far. Infant you say, files starting with a dot are hidden. In the terminal you can list them with the command "ls -la", just in case you didn't know.

To check if the proxy is working you kan try the command "telnet localhost 5010". Then you shall see the NMEA data coming. To exit telnet hit ^] (ctrl-altgr-9 then enterkey), at the telnet prompt type quit.

If that goes well you can try the socat thing.

Yeeha! Got the NMEA data running in the terminal Hitting the ^] did nothing nor did (ctrl-altgr-9 then enterkey) that is if "altgr" is the "Alt" key I just X the terminal and it said that if you do that it will terminate the process. OK I will come back to you on the next part
Ok I have the NMEA Proxy Running and I then did the "$ mkdir ~/dev" thing but it told me it already exists,(I had already made it yesterday)
Now when I enter:
$ socat pty,link=~/dev/vty0,waitslave tcp:localhost:5010
I Get:
2011/01/16 21:55:02 socat2161 E symlink("/dev/pts/2", "~/dev/vty0"): No such file or directory
and I am stuck again :(

OK, this one I can fix, I think. Change ~ to $HOME. Or, if you already are at home, you can remove ~/ from your command.

Something like this.
socat pty,link=$HOME/dev/vty0,waitslave tcp:localhost:5010

I'll try to edit my original post in case someone else would try and run into the same proplem.

Cheers!

OK I think we are getting some ware. As much as I know (as I said thats not much) things in the terminal seem to be OK but in SailPlanner the NMEA setup gives a (6, 'SetupComm', 'Invalid handle') thanks for the help so far but I have to go now see you tomorow

Hi Magnus,
Can you please create a step-by-step instruction for the mac-version like Exmer's Windows tutorial? I would babysit your boat whenever you want ;-))

regards

StuArt/Berth
OK, StuArt, I'll try :)

open Brainaid's proxy from the website and login.

download and start MultiCom.
set Port A to "Pseudo Terminal" and
set Port B to "IP Client" and enter the IP-address and port number from brainaid's proxy as "Server Host Name" and "Server Port".
check both as enabled. make a note of the device it's connected as ex. /dev/ttys001

open a terminal window and enter:
sudo ln -s /dev/ttys001 /dev/tty.NMEA

start sailplanner and check "lock to NMEA"
choose tty.NMEA in sailplanner's NMEA setup window

click the start button in brainaid's proxy

click the check button in sailplanner's NMEA setup window

if you get a green OK everything worked
hi there. i tried this on my macbook as well. didnt get it to work though.
not sure where the issue is.

the multicom says its connected as "/dev/ttys000" not "...001". i got the 2 green lights though. not sure where to change this. ???

in the brainaid proxy all seems fine.

then in the sailplanner NMEA setup, when i click "check" it tells me "could not open port /dev/tty.NMEA: (2, 'No such file or directory)"

in the terminal window i copied the line as you said above. it did ask me for my password, but wouldn't let me type it. i kind of pressed entered a couple of time and then it said something like "file exists". do i have to copy that line every time i connect and want to play or just once and thats it? is there a way back to start again?

got stuck a bit here.... can anybody help?
would love to play around with this a bit.
cheers

two things. It does let you enter a password, but in the unix world there's no visual clue when you're entering passwords.
Since multicom is reporting /dev/ttys000, you should be using "sudo ln -s /dev/ttys000 /dev/tty.NMEA"

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!

This leg will be raced aboard the powerful Rapido 60, pushing sailors to their limits as they navigate the open ocean. Do you have what it takes to conquer the Pacific?

Red Eye - Round White Island 2025

We remain in New Zealand for our second “Red Eye Special” and another IRL Kiwi classic - the Round White Island! IRL still “currently on hiatus” following the island’s eruption of 2019, this race was last raced on SOL in 2020. It’s about 300nm there - out the Hauraki Gulf and south down to the island in the Bay of Plenty - and back to Auckland. This year we’ll be racing in our ever-popular take on the TP-52. Hau tika!

Africa by Sea - Tangier to Abidjan


Whatever about pharaoh Necho II’s Phoenician expedition of the 7th C BCE, the Carthaginian Hanno the Navigator with more certainty sailed south from Tangier to explore the West African coast two centuries later, but how far he got is a matter of more conjecture. However, if he did the 2300nm to today’s Ivory Coast he would have found little there other than good shelter in the vast lagoons behind the dunes, much the same as today, excepting the highly industrialized port of Abidjan. Not a great haven for a stop-over but let’s take the 90ft Monohull anyway.

Melbourne Osaka Cup Double-Handed Yacht Race 2025

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and this year is such a year. So, this year’s online version is in sync with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organised by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. We’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat which should be a good match for many of the boats entered in the real race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across our course, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
