brainaid NMEA proxy on different ports

Board » General Discussion

Hi ya all,
I’d like to have two NMEA connections (over TCP/IP) for two races, but brainaids nice toolbox delivers always the same port 5020 for different races. Changing the port manually (e.g. 5022) doesn’t work. Is there a trick or workaraound?
I’m sailing on a mac mini, macos 10.15, btw.

DANG! That works! The "trick" with different ports in the NMEA Proxy was the thing I needed. THX a lot!

For the NMEA feed, change the port number in each of you brainaid instances. I use 5011 for qt1, 5012, for qt2 and so on.

@Kipper: This seems to be THE hint. Will try that soon – thanks a lot!
And fair winds for all time!

Routing two races simultaneously?

Board » Technical Support

Hello all,
this may be a bit special: I'm actually participating the race to Rio, using qtvlm as routing software, with brainaids fine nmea-tool (on a mac mini, with catalina running). So far so good. What if I want to attend next the next race (Dondra to Sanya) with the race to Rio still running? May I use a second installation of qtvlm (simple copy)? An what about nmea? There seems no way to assign an different IP…

Re: qtVLM v5.4 Logbook Display

Board » Technical Discussion

Got it working now. Depends on what columns you have on (or off). For me it works with Icon(sail/engine), TWD, TWA, STW, CTW, SOG, AWS, AWA CS, CD columns on, rest off.

Re: When is my command executed?

Board » Technical Discussion

One advantage I take of your very informative explanation is: Don’t tack (gybe) too short for rounding a waypoint/buoy. To set a tack command in advance may have the effect to round too early. Seems to be better to wait for the visible pass by of the waypoint – then tack or gybe or set new course.
(Apologies for bad english).

qtVLM v5.4 Logbook Display

Board » Technical Discussion

Hello,

qtVlm's Route logbook doesn’t show the complete "date and time" (left column)– at least on a mac – , which is annoying when you try to put some DC into brainaids dc toolbox or the SOL DC setter. >screenshot

Also kroppyers qtVlm DC Converter doesn't seem to work properly: He gives me constantly a date/tim line like this: 1970/01/01 01:00:00

Does anybody has some helping advice!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

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 is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
