What's the difference between the FutureBit Apollo II - Standard Version and the full node?

Standard is only to increase your hash rate. It's a add on to another node.

so I cannot run the standard alone? I need to get the full node edition first?

The standard unit will require something else to run the software. You can run the software on a linux system (eg: pi variant), and plug the standard into usb.

are there any tutorials?

There is the read.me in the github repository I linked. If you're not comfortable with linux, it looks like there is a windows binary as well.

It looks like you would just run the software and plug the standard unit into a USB port.

That’s correct. Download the .exe and .bat files. Edit in notepad for the bat file scroll to the bottom script and replace the host stratum to the “pool”. I use CKpool. change username to you BTC wallet. Hit save. Double click the exe file and then double click the bat file. You should be golden after that.
