HI Les I do not know enough to tell you much about teh API. BUT I can tell you from a plugin I can control UCCNC functions.
You really need to talk to Balazs directly if you email him he will respond.
UCCNC is coming on VERY strong and will soon be a top dawg in teh DIY CNC world. (;-)
It supports Laser,router,plasma, mill very well and soon will support TURN.
Their hardware is top notch.
It gets better with every update (;-)

Les,
I was wondering about the mach3 plugin for sheetcam?
I had a look at the sheetcam lua code, and saw that it interfaced with the mach3.dll plugin..... I was wondering if there was any chance of seeing the sourcecode for the mach3.dll part of the plugin?
Basically instead of reinventing the wheel, I was wondering if the mach3.dll could be re-engineered to that if whatever sheetcam interfaced with with via the plugin if this could be transfered over to ucccnc?
uccnc uses c# or vb .net for its plugins
once installing uccnc, there is an example plugin which is installed in the uccnc/plugins folder, and the full list of led's fields and macro codes are listed within the uccnc/documentation folder.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other topic TP listed:
I believe that you cannot have direct output from the uccnc (i.e. you cannot drive a motion controller from uccnc as the loop is 25hz) but you can have input access to uccnc (i.e. jog, or g-code motion commands, access to all the buttons, fields, LED's and checkboxes

Thanks Les,
there is a small (but growing) band of us that seem to be converting from M3 to uccnc
forum is here: http://forum.cncdrive.com/ (not well linked to at the moment, its new)
Anything anyone can do to help just ask
The plasma side of it has reciently been worked on quite a bit by TP & Beefy with the guys a uccnc who are very proactive for better asynchronous THC and M10/M11 control so using the overburn features of sheetcam should pay dividends at chasing divots
