CNCjs is a full-featured web-based interface for CNC controllers running Grbl, Marlin, Smoothieware, or TinyG.
Such CNC controllers are often implemented with a tiny embedded computer such as an Arduino with added hardware for controlling stepper motors, spindles, lasers, 3D printing extruders, and the like. The GCode commands that tell the CNC controller what to do are fed to it from a serial port.
This is free and open source software.
