Sorry to be so long in getting back to you. I am not sure I have explained the problem I have.

Re: Xkeys USB Keypad Operator Control Panel for Centroid CNC

I am talking about transferring the macros from the centroid Xkeys-24 zip files to the proper keys on the Xk-24 pad. Each time I try to do this I get and error of a missing image file.

Re: Xkeys USB Keypad Operator Control Panel for Centroid CNC

Sorry to be so dense about this, but does the key pad have to be in a usb port on a computer that is in communication with an acorn board, in order to automatically program the Xk-24 keys. I would appreciate a step by step approach.
Thanks,

ElderThomas
