Hi @anon1947322,

You are welcome. It should be doable, as you have guessed and described here [Communication over USB with Daemon](https://forum.universal-robots.com/t/communication-over-usb-with-daemon/1829)  
You need to make that communication implementation in a daemon and the serialize the data into the URScript(and potential Java) by a plain socket or XML RPC.
