Hi I'm Koray
ı am sorry for my bad English. I hope you can understand me. My question is; I need to send a pantilt command using ethernet cable. Those who do not know the pantilt can think of it as a kind of motor. And I'm sending the command to the a driver. I need to write with the C ++ programming language. Previously I was able to control the pantilt by sending command with serial communication using visual studio c ++. I need to send pant command using ethernet instead of serial communication. I am stranger to this because I have not used the tcp/ip protocol before. In short, I have to send a command from my computer over a ethernet cable in a pant. I do not have any kind of information to help, such as how to do things, research topics, sample projects. I read a lot of articles from the internet but I do not know which one is useful for me.
thanks for every think.

What I have tried:

I think I will do it by way of socket programming. Am I on the right track?

Yes.
You (with high probability) have to write a TCP client. You may find many, many examples of C++ TCP client on the web, just Google for.

yes there are many examples. I also found some client code that works. Can I send commands to a simple driver using only the client?

Of course, provided the driver is a TCP server.

unfortunately the driver is providing a server. I will code a server and client using socket. server will be an industrial computer if my client is a client. I will control the panties through this computer.
