Good morning.
I've finally gotten some time at work to update the child theme I created in 2012 for our department. The release of Genesis 3 seemed like a good reason to make sure the theme is supporting HTML5 and Accessibility. There is still a bunch of code that could be cleaned up but I am now focused on trying to migrate the child theme settings to the modern approach through the Customizer API and need some guidance or a clear tutorial. I originally followed a tutorial by Bill Erickson to add an admin page for my themes settings but am unclear in searching through the Customizer API how to go about migrating these settings to the Customizer API. Any assistance or pointers would be appreciated.

https://github.com/jbreitenbucher/GenesisChildThemes/blob/master/technology-3/lib/admin/admin.phpI would look at the customize.php file in your new child theme. The code is fairly easy to work with compared to the adding a options page.
@braddalton Do you mean in a newer StudioPress Child theme? My theme does not have a customize.php file. I think that is what I am trying to create. I think I have something working now, but don't see a way to add a panel as a sub-panel like I could add my theme settings as a sub-page of the Genesis page before.
Look in any of the new themes and you'll see how thats done in customize.php.
Authority Pro is 1 example.
I think I've got it sorted (using the panel option). get_option() is finding the values and things are behaving as expected. The only thing I'm not sure of is how to sanitize one of my options to make sure it is an integer.
