16. Locate two marked lines and glue the optointerrupter to the square wooden stand as shown
below:
17. Glue the optointerrupter stand to the board as shown in the picture. If you rotate the rotor,
the disk blades should be in the middle of the slot as deep as possible without hitting the
optointerrupter. Wait for the glue to dry. Hold the middle part of the rotor and rotate the
cap that has the disk attached until one of the blades is inside the slot. You will need to
experiment with it later to find the best position of the disk to provide a good start and the
best speed.
18. Attach the self-sticking felt pad to the reed switch stand as shown. This soft pad decreases
the reed switch vibration thus decreasing the sound it generates.
