This is NOT EMC. It uses the G-code interpreter, and maybe some of the
motion planning from
EMC. But, it does not use the motion control or screen GUI from EMC.
It should really be
considered a separate product, although related. The 'flavor' of g-code
they take would be
expected to be the same, though. Still, it may do exactly what you
want, but it is NOT open
source. So, you can't develop your own I/O devices for it like you can
with EMC.
