    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

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
