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.

Cnc Grbl Cant get Hard limits to work
Like /u/pemanja93 said below: gSender (Win, Mac, Linux)
- Alternative for Carbide Motion?
-
Having some probing issues
btw, unless you need height map probing, check out gSender.
- Question 2: how do tool changes work in GRBL

X-carve without easel
I use Fusion 360 for modeling and creating the tool paths, and export the gcode to a folder on my NAS. Then I use a raspberry pi running gsender to send the gcode to the x-carve.
- What's the best Gcode sender out there?

How do you generate your simple tool paths?
G-sender is super lightweight and has this built right into it. https://sienci.com/gsender/
