Expedition with new Hercules processer
We presently run Expedition hooked to NEMA 2000 with a Actisense USB converter. We do not have a processer.
We are adding a new Hurcules processer. What is the best way to connect a PC running Expedition to the Hurcules?
Thanks

The best way to connect to B&G Hercules is with the websocket.
It can be a good idea to keep the GPS and AIS feeds from the NMEA 2000 connection.

Ok, Thanks. So i should hook the laptop to both the Actisense USB and the Websocket in the B&G Hurcules to be able to split the input? Expediton will reconize both at the same time?

IMHO, the best way is using websockets by far as it is native. If you use NMEA2K you will miss a lot of the perf data coming out of the Hercules via the websocket, that does not get into the N2K bus.

Is there any advantage to load polars into the Hurcules? I assume Exp uses the polars to loaded into Exp for all caculations inside of Exp?
