Is it possible to connect PhantomJester (Jester ML 48) to Capture (2021 Student Edition)?

So with the base ZeroPhantomJester software I understand that it is not possible to connect the PhantomJester to Capture because the Jester itself does not support this type of connection. My question is whether there is a possible way to modify the PhantomJester software to allow it to do this?

The reason I have to do this is because my theatre is currently stuck with an old Jester ML 48 and I was hoping to be able to program show files for it whilst working from home and of course having the PhantomJester software connect to the Capture software would make my life far easier.

I am open to trying to program a way around this but I am not sure where to start.

Aside from programming a solution is there anything simpler that anyone can come up with?

Thanks a lot

There is no way of getting control data out of Phantom Jester, and so there is no way of doing this. You can only ever program “blind” on Phantom Jester.

If you are on a real console, you could use a DMX to Ethernet gateway to be able to connect to Capture.
