1 year ago No we don't have a dll but you should be able to do the controls via a simple socket (not a websocket!) if you have wifi on your command station. Basically you will have to open a socket to the commnd station, send easily formatted text commands and asynchronously accept responses and broadcast messages which are human readable and readily parsed.First thing to do is write a minimal test program to do the connect, send "" and display the result... after that everything is easy.
