Programming Xkeys pad

[lvanduyn]

I have been trying to program my Xkeys pad. Immediately on starting macroworks, an error message pops up as follows.

Error in legend file
Missing image file:
C:\users\cnc user\desktop\Centroid_Xkeys24\key_images\ and then the button name.
When I close this message, it pops back up with the next button name and on through all 24 names.
There is no "cnc user" directory and how does macroworks know anything about centroid on startup ??

Hi Marty
Yes. I had watched your video before buying the Xkeys but it doesn't show how you got it programmed.
The problem is that this error message pops up as soon as macrowork loads. I am trying to program
this on my desktop machine. Do I need to do this on the machine that has the Acorn software installed
and running ?

Ivanduyn,

I ran into the same thing last week, so I created the file extension that it was looking for and put my image files in there. They loaded just fine. Let me know if you want screen shots or any other info.

Hi Bill
I was trying to program the xkeys on my desktop computer. Doesn't work.
Found out that it needs to be done on the PC which has the Acorn software installed.
The directories that macroworks needs are there.

I watched the video and downloaded the zip file. I'm not following how to program the Xkeys pad. Are there directions somewhere? I fixed the filepath issue for the images in both .lgd files. Not sure which to load, program, etc.
