    I still have an X-Pendant (X-Pendant – MechanicalGoose) from when I had my X carve, is there any way to use this with the OpenBuilds Control software? I've tried key mapping and it didn't work, every button I pushed on the X-Pendant came up as "enter" in the key mapping tab on the OpenBuilds software.

    Never used the X-Pendant so cant say for sure. What happens when you press those same buttons in notepad? Do you still get "enter"? If so, you'll have to program the x-pendant.

    When I push a button the pendant with Notepad it actually puts GCode into notepad.
    I'm guessing I'll have to figure out how to reprogram this thing.

    Yes you need to reprogram it. I looked at their website the other day. Seems pretty straight forward.

    All I can say is hold on just a little longer and pretty soon all of your wildest dreams may come true ;)

    Glad to hear, as I got into the programming and it's extremely complicated, definitely nothing I can manipulate to suit my needs.
