Below are the assembly instructions for the v0.2 Holoseat controller. Remember, this is a breadboard level prototype. While it is fully functional, the lack of permanent solder joints makes it unsuitable for long term use in the "real world". If you want a permanent version, consider skipping the mini-breadboard and soldering the components directly onto the prototype board.

Step 0 - Acquire the parts of the v0.2 Holoseat¶

See the Bill of Materials for complete list of components.

Step 1 - Attach hookup wire to two RJ-25 jacks (HS013)¶

Make sure to strip one end of each wire and to reverse the colors between the jacks (so one jack should connect red/black and the other green/yellow). Be sure to add the back covers to the jacks after attaching the hookup wire.

Note the use of wires from a Cat5 cable as the hookup wire.

Step 2 - Attach lead wires from one RJ-25 jack (HS013) to the reed switch (HS003)¶

Make sure one lead is attached to the common terminal (COM) and the other is attached to the normally open (NO) terminal.

Step 3 - Attach the reed switch (HS003) to the exercise equipment¶

Use the adhesive backing and zip ties (HS006) to ensure the reed switch is secure.

Step 4 - Attach Large Ceramic Magnet (HS012) to the exercise equipment¶

Use zip ties (HS006) to attach the magnet onto the pedal or similar part of the exercise equipment.

Step 5 - Wire the RJ-25 jack (HS013) to the prototype board (HS002)¶

Wire this component in place of the reed switch (HS003). Refer to the Detailed Design for more information on how to wire the reed switch to the Holoseat.

Step 6 - Wire the toggle switch (HS004) to the prototype board (HS002)¶

Refer to the Detailed Design for more information on how to wire the toggle switch to the Holoseat.

Step 7 - Wire the LED (HS005) to the prototype shield (HS002)¶

Refer to the Detailed Design for more information on how to wire the LED to the Holoseat.

Step 8 - Attach protoshield (HS002) to Arduino Leonardo (HS001)¶

Make sure the pins line up and gently but firmly press the protoshield down until it stops. The pins will still be showing as can be seen in the photo.

Step 9 - Plug the coiled phone cord (HS014) into the RJ-25 jack (HS013) connected to the reed switch (HS003)¶

Wrap any excess phone cord around the exercise equipment.

Step 10 - Plug the coiled phone cord (HS014) into the RJ-25 jack (HS013) connected to the protoshield (HS002)¶
