2015-01-29 02:34:43 - Brainaid download applet not showing on Navigation page
Hi, have been reinstalling Chrome etc, but now find the button on the Brainaid Navigation page used to download the NMEA data applet is not showing. I believe I also got a Java update when reinstalling Chrome.

I have run Internet Explorer, but the same issue is apparent.

I kept my old applet (the jnlp file for SWR leg 3) and it still opens and runs okay. It just seems to be the download button which has disappeared.

I did an 'inspect element' search on the Brainaid page and it showed two errors.
1. Uncaught TypeError : deployJava.js:1 undefined is not a function
and 2. Uncaught TypeError : Cannot set property 'launchButtonPNG' of undefined.

All double Dutch to me, but maybe explains something to those who understand.
Thanks
John (Dingo)

This may not work for all versions, but if you still have Internet Explorer installed, this may work for you.

Go to brainaid's Sol toolbox and log in as you would normally and go to the Navigation page. Then press F12 (or go to Tools - Development tools menu) to open the, wait for it, Development Tools window. On the Tools window, select the Script tab. In the left-hand column, select and copy (CTRL-C) the 3rd line ("function my_write(t)..."). Make sure you copy the entire line. Now go and paste it in the text field in the lower right-hand corner and click on "Run script" to make the applet appear on the navigation page. (You may have to click "Single line mode" for the text field to appear.)

HTH,
Philip

Thanks Schakel, I have Internet Explorer as well. If I open that, and F12, I get the Toolbox okay, but no tab called Script. If I put the word 'function' in the search box, then I get, under the DOM Explorer tab, a number of tabs at the bottom including script. In there I can see the line: function my_write(t){var c = document.getElementsById

but I don't think I'm in the right location of the Toolbox to either copy or paste this.

Sorry, not used to this type of computer work. :)

cheers
John

Thanks all again, have got a temporary work-around from Kroppyer, but still puzzled as to the root cause of this problem.

The workaround:

Fill in
- your brainaid-token (can be seen in the url when you're logged in at brainaids toolbox: the part after ?sid= is your token),
- the race number (can be seen in the url of the client (windy/run/xxx/), and also in the racedescription (Race #xxx)
- your boatname
in the url below:
sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/
toolbox/NMEAproxy.jnlp?sid=YOURTOKENHERE&
race=RACEID&
boat=BOATNAME&
file=NMEAproxy.jnlp

example:
sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox/
NMEAproxy.jnlp?sid=d41d8cd98f00b204e980099
8ecf8427e&race=787&boat=kroppyer&file=
NMEAproxy.jnlp

Great Bear Ice Race 2025


You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Chile Islands RTI Sprint 2025


Across the Canal Puyuhuapi from Puerto Cines on the Chilean mainland lies the Parque Nacional Isla Magdelena, and further west across the Canal Moraleda from Magdelena lie the islands of the Chonos Archipelago. Returning for the first time since 2017 we find ourselves in vari-charted waters here, with the mapping between physical islands and their names not 1:1 but rather some:some. It’s only 26nm but you could get lost! Good luck.

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
