Minimum Computer Requirements
I looked up the specs for Candle https://github.com/Denvi/Candle says it will run on very minimum hardware. Windows/Linux x86, CPU with SSE2 instruction set support, Graphics card with OpenGL 2.0 support, 120 MB free storage space.

can someone help me identify what type of machine this is?
The sainsmart getting started guide is decent enough, worth checking out. I'm pro usb-ing it to a computer (Raspberry pi w/ a touchscreen in my case) & using Candle to drive it, and fusion 360 to generate toolpaths (.nc) files for it. The sainsmart guide covers all that mostly.

How much time does it take to make PCB and 2d engravings from images?
I used Candle for awhile (https://github.com/Denvi/Candle). Mach 4 can do it, but I haven't tried with a PCB.

Impulse bought a CNC Machine, Plz Send help
Personally in my setup I use Fusion360 for CAD, CAM and POST, sometimes on complicated/organic models I do the CAD in Blender instead and just import it into Fusion for the CAM/POST, and for a sender I use a little app called Candle (picked it because it had some nice utilities for etching out PCBs which is how I got into CNC), but there's plenty options out there.

Esp8266 pulse counter. Milled PCB.
I am using pcb2gcode for generating my files for the engraver. https://github.com/pcb2gcode/pcb2gcodeGUI . For commanding the mill I am using Candle. https://github.com/Denvi/Candle . This works very nicely.

Help
I believe the Tool Change command is supported by: gSender or cncjs.

Can I connect my laptop to my desktop CNC with a bluetooth usb dongle?
Get a raspberry pi, https://www.raspberrypi.org/, throw UGS https://winder.github.io/ugs_website/ or cnc.js https://cnc.js.org/ on it.
-
If I don't use Windows or Mac and only use Linux, will I run into a lot of compatibility issues?
I use https://cnc.js.org/ to send g-code to the machine, this uses web page interface to set up the machine.

Running CNCJS on raspberry pi - other computers don't see the job

Must have Self-Hosted Developer Tools
CNCjs - For CNC, same as above but for my CNC router, though I would never trust my CNC to run when I'm not physically close by ha ha so this hasn't been exposed to my OpenZiti network.

how to control your laser engraver with a raspberry pi?
I think cncjs is what you're looking for: https://cnc.js.org/

Laser engraver continually alarming!
Can you try with a different gcode sender software (cncjs), to see if you can Reset (red button) and Unlock (orange button)?

ortur Laser Master Pro 2 SF not burning
6 - Alternative, Save the gcode and use a g-code sender (example: cncjs). Notice: a g-code sender needs to know where is the 0,0 position/the start position, so in LightBurn select the start position "Current Position" and select the appropriate Job Origin. Save the gcode. On cncjs, move the laser to the "Job Origin" and zero both X and Y (the icon after the + on the Work Position). Click the blue Upload G-Code button, select your file and press the Play button to start the job.
