    H5000 and Expedition .. Pin layout Hlink

    Yesterday I installed a H5000 Hercules system.

    I tried to read as much posts as I can find and so far my conclusion is that:
    Hercules (probably) should have Hlink
    Hlink is THE way for Expedition to communicate with the H5000
    So alas it means a serial connection.

    However .. Normal rs232 connections are pin 2&3 and 7.
    As far as I can see . You can only use the nmea1 or 2 ports for this?
    There it sais sensor a tx &rx and sensor b tx&rx.
    So what do I use .. There is no info whatsoever on the B&G site.

    What is the difference between Hydra and Hlink?

    Why can we not talk with the H5000 over the ethernet port?

    The solution was actually very simple.H5000 is not RS232 but RS422. I bought the new Actisence USG-2 usb to RS422 converter.. Attached the cables in the most logical way .. and up and running. the USG-2 is considerable smaller and as usual with Actisense.. it is spot on. As I already use the NGT-1 on my windows 10 Surface pro I did not have to install any driver. Plug and play!! ​
