    mach3 won't read in full gcode program all the time

    I have mach3 running a chinese machine (x61500GT) from Carving-cnc. It uses a USB connection. The machine is well built, but as expected, comes with no documentation or software. Upon getting Mach3 and finding the plug in usbmove and a quick start pdf, I was able to get the machine to run correctly. I then made a gcode program and uploaded it into Mach3. I ran it and the program worked for a bit and then stopped. I soon found that the file was only partially loaded. I shut down mach3, restarted, loaded the program and it showed as fully loaded. I ran it, it went farther then before, but stopped. Upon review, only part of the program was in memory......

    I have the fully registered Mach3, so it is not limiting the file size for demo mode. Any ideas?

    Is it registered to you, or did you get a license from the Chinese seller? A lot of Chinese sellers provide pirated licens files, which often don't work correctly.

    Yes, it did have to do with registration not being done right. I got the registration correct and the code is now feeding fine. Thanks,
