Communicating with Acorn through other software.

I bought the acorn board as a means to control some motors I will be using for an automation project. My question is can I make my own application let's say in C# or Java to read board values and send messages to the acorn board? The project is an automated measuring system. So the acorn would move the measurement device to a desired location. Acorn would then stop and wait for me to issue it a command to continue to the next location. Is there a better way to do this maybe through the cnc software itself?

It sounds like this could be done in G code. M100 / M101 are used to wait on inputs.
