2013-07-30 06:30:51 - QtVlm router and Brainaid's NMEA proxy
Hi, I have been browsing this forum and Google for assistance in connecting Brainaid's NWEA proxy to the QtVlm router but have not found any relevant information.

Has anyone managed to achieve this, and would they be prepared to share the info?

many thanks

John

John, have you looked at Aaron's stuff.
http://soltools.wordpress.com/bwr/

Phillip (Shackel) had some really good stuff on his site. But for some reason the page is now password protected. Still looking for his email.

So far found this (which has some other good info): http://sailonline.org/community/profile/7407/

Morning Jack, and others. After some assistance from Dikkehenk and Go4iT and a bit of playing around on my own, I found a work around. My main problem seemed to be caused by being on a 64 bit system.

In principle:
1. Start up brainaid's proxy, which runs quite happily on my 64 bit Windows 7 with Java 7. Others have had to revert to Java 6 I know.
2. Install NavmonPC and set the File>Connections to virtual ports A,B,C, using port COM5. Check that data is coming through okay, using the 'Monitor' button.
3. Install Franson GPSGate 2.6 and Franson SerialTools Run Time.
4. Start up QT. Under Boat>Settings, enter Serial Port as COM5. Under Options>Settings>gps, enter COM5 as the serial port.
5. Click 'Start GPS' on the left hand side of the QT window.
cheers
John

Good to hear! For the benefit of others reading this thread, I can no longer, since last month, log in the brainaid NMEA proxy whilst using Windows 7 and Java 7.

Perhaps sometime one day, it will possible to do this again if it is updated.

Yes, that's right, but I have concerns about computer security using old versions of Java, so I don't.

Hi all,

I have fixed a problem with Cookie management inside the NMEAproxy, this should work with Java 7 now. You will still get a warning about unknown publisher, as I do not have an officially signed certificate...

Please re-test with Java 7 and report your success or failure. Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
Eddie
