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.

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 --- Last Edited by ESEA at 2011-01-16 21:02:08 --- --- Last Edited by ESEA at 2011-01-16 21:02:53 --- Take it "ESEA" go sailing

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 ESEA Take it "ESEA" go sailing

	scma said @ 2011-01-01 19:34:56: StuArt said @ 2011-01-01 17:55:13: 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 (attached a screenshot) --- Last Edited by Justin Limbo at 2011-05-27 13:18:56 --- Attachments sailplanner.jpg (191.4 KB)

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"
