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

justinlimbo said @ 2011-05-27 13:15:31:

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"

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

socat is available for Mac OS X at darinports and there is also a graphical tool that does something similar at MultiCom
just remember that the device name needs to have a dot in it for Sailplanner to recognize it
