Step 5Attaching the plastic platform to the seed tray
If you aren't doing the electronics you can do this simpler way of attaching the seed tray to the plastic platform:
Simply use the hot glue gun to glue the two parts together. Then you can move on to the next step.
If you are doing the electronics you must do this or the beeper will not work:
First, take the rope/string hanging from the seed tray and put those pieces through the holes in the plastic tray. Knot the rope/string so it doesn't go back through the holes and so it is only about 1/8 inch from the seed tray when suspended.
Optional - test the system by attaching the black wire from the beeper to the black wire from the battery clip. Then, attach the other wire from the battery clip to the wire from the seed tray. Also, attach the other wire from the beeper to the wire from the plastic platform. Put the battery in the battery clip and hold the small bottle. Apply a small amount of pressure to the platform and see if the beeper makes a sound. If it does, you're in good shape and can move on to the next step. If it doesn't, you need to tweak the distance between the platform and the seed tray. If changing the distance doesn't help, you might want to just connect the red battery clip wire to the red beeper wire and see if your beeper is working. No beep means it is broken or your battery is dead.
