Hello,  
I am starting on a project soon, where I am looking to abstract many of the features of ignition into my own client.  
The biggest thing that I foresee would be giving commands to machines from my own script somehow.  
Does this seem like something that a module would be capable of doing?  
If so, could somebody point me towards some resources to help make it happen  
Thanks in advance.
