Usually ET2 CNC controller works with myCNC control software.
The last firmware version for myCNC-ET2-STEP controller support stan alone mode. In this mode motion program can be uploaded into the controller board flash memoty. Then controller runs the program without PC Host. Howewer host PC computer may connect to the controller board via Ethernet interface for real-time to diagnose or watch for running process.
Typical application for myCNC-ET2 controller is entry-level cheap 2D/3D CNC machines with stepper motprs up to 4Amps
