Step 4Attach Reed Switch

Attach Reed Switch
Solder the two wires to your reed switch. If you have a different method of attachment, go right on ahead ;) Heat shrink or plastic dip at will, but it's not necessary. As you can see, I used alligator clips to test :P

Again, enter "+1" -- swipe your magnet near the reed switch and make sure "1" is displayed as your answer. If not, go back and make sure your reed switch is working and everything is connected properly. Do this a few times and watch it count away.

Now, use 1 or 2 zip ties to secure your reed switch to the front fork of your bike.
