I'm not familiar with any of your setup, but it can be something as simple as the Wadkin not recognizing the filename extension. Filename.nc is typical for some software like Mach3 and others use something else. For example, EMC2 software wants filename.ngc. Otherwise the gcode is the same. Some gcode has line numbers included and some gcode doesn't. You need to find out what the Wadkins needs as for as filename and gcode formatting.
