There's an example of an electronic gearbox for a lathe, no gcode, just a custom GUI and some HAL connections.
Probably not a lot that you can use, but an example of what you can do.
My guess would be as long as you can get the data into linuxcnc and output any control values based on the input you should be fine. This would probably require some custom HAL written components to operate on the data and apply the output required. Oh yeah and maybe a gui.
The absolute simplest example I can think of is the parallel port tester, doesn't have any kinematics, but does allow you to control outputs and read the state of inputs.
Just throwing this out there.
MRO is another example. Maybe this could be a starting point, just start be reading data and displaying it, once you have that nailed, you could start with some simple HAL components to manipulate your data.

Not an exact implementation but kind a simple example of what is achievable.
No doubt Andy will have a better idea and contradict everything Ive said, as he's way way more knowledgeable.
