Re: Sailplanner users can connect to brainaids NMEA proxy!!

ESEA said @ 2011-01-16 20:40:08:

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!

Thanks Stag I have the NMEA proxy going now step by step what is the next thing (yes you can consider me an infant with Linux)

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.

Its the things like how do I "copy the NMEAproxy.jnlp file to ~/.netx/cache/http/sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox" that get me! I copy the code into the terminal and I get "bash: /home/edwin/.netx/cache/http/sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox: is a directory" then when I go to the file "/home/edwin/" I do not see the ".netx"

As said in another post above, the openjdk does not work as desired in this case. You could uninstall openjdk-6-... and install sun-java-6-...

Then try without that copying of the jnlp file.
Cheers!

This is not a complete tutorial, just the major steps I took to get my SOL position into Sailplanner on linux. Details are omitted, I just want to say it works (but not out of the box). I'm sure there are better ways, perhaps already reported in the forum.

Try to start the brainaid proxy. It failed for me not passing an argument to the proxy.
I had to copy the NMEAproxy.jnlp file to [~/.netx/cache/http/sol.brainaid.de
/sailonline/toolbox

Then I made it read only!
$ chmod -w ~/.netx/cache/http/sol.brainaid.de
/sailonline/toolbox/NMEAproxy.jnlp

Then I tried again.
$ javaws NMEAproxy.jnlp
press start
Horray, it worked. Lets create a virtual serial port connected to the TCP-stream.
$ mkdir ~/dev
$ socat pty,link=$HOME/
dev/vty0,waitslave tcp:localhost:5010

Create com3 under wine using the new virtual serial port.
$ ln -s ~/dev/vty0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/
com3

Start Sailplanner under wine (assuming you already installed it)
lock to nmea...
select com3
press check
(perhaps you need to restart the virtual serial port if it died (socat))
press OK

Enjoy! Or at least I do

edit: changed ~ to $HOME for the socat command. As pointed out in later posts, the copying and chmoding of the jnlp file may be omitted if using sun-java6-jre instead of openjdk-6-jre et al.
