    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

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
