The new Key Control is nice. I like being able to assign any key to the movement functions. I do have a question. I can assign any character key, and it works great. But, I can't seem to assign the arrow keys or number keys on the keypad. I'm sure I just don't understand how to do it. Should I be using some escape or alt sequence for those keys? I guess it could be my keyboard, too. It's a wireless Logitech. The arrow keys do work with the Sabertooth Movement Panel.

This perhaps may be do to the idea that there are a couple keys that need an override routine to be used in the initialization in c#. He has it used in the motor controlers and movement panels however perhaps it may not be added to the key control.

The arrow keys of the Key Control will control any existing movement panel:D
