Board » Technical Support » 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)

No takers? I have the same issue
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=

CA 500 2024


In 2019, the organisers of the California Race Week introduced a new longer distance event for the world’s very largest maxi trimarans in town that year intent on setting new records for the TransPac Ocean Race on its 50th anniversary. This CA 500, 500nm from San Francisco to San Diego, was repeated in 2023, but this year it will be an online only event, as it is a lot more straightforward to get a fleet of Maxi trimarans out on the virtual water, than in real life.

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

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!
