Title: G Code out of Range
Post by: marks3465 on February 09, 2013, 10:15:27 PM

New to Mach3, I get this error every time I load Mach3.  I still can use it, but it is starting to bug me.  I would understand this error if I have loaded a G code file, but it shows this error soon as I start up Mach3.  The actual error code is (G code out of range, Block = G80 55000.  Please help!

Look at Config/General Config, initialization string

What should be the value in the General Config -> Initialization String? Is there any other setting needed. I am also finding the same error "G code out of range". Suggest the solution.

What's in your initialization string?

At present it is G80 M108

What's in your M108 macro?

And what is the entire "G Code out of range" message?

I am just using the default general configuration. I don't know about the M108 macro. The error 'G code out of Range' comes immediately after startup the mach3 software. Moreover the Initialization String checkbox is also not checked. Then also I am getting this message.

Try deleting the M108 from the Initialization String.

No, it is still giving the same error. The very interesting thing is that the same system was working fine before, but since last two days it is giving this error.

Today I did the fresh installation of Windows7 ultimate and the mach3 software. It is still giving the error G CODE OUT OF RANGE: BLOCK G80 M108. Give the solution for this trouble?

Delete both the G80 and M108 from the Initialization String.

Hi Gerry,
Today, I tried a new Mother Board (brand and model same but used old RAM, Proc and all other stuff) and saw that it is working. Even HardDisk was of same old installation (no new installation of either Win7 or Mach).

I'm not sure what is the hardware dependency. Maybe something is coming in the way (which may have gone bad). Any idea?
