Linking your Shoes to your Nike+ SportBand with a Sensor

My previous post explains how you get your Nike+ SportBand setup. This post explains how to get your feet talking to your gadget.

First things first, you have to buy a Nike+ device. There are at least two options currently:

With the purchase of a device, you get a sensor. The sensor is an oval the size of a quarter. That sensor must be placed inside your shoe. If you buy a pair of Nike+ shoes, there is a a prebuilt slot for the sensor underneath the insert. If you don’t have a pair of Nike+ shoes, you can apparently still make this work (see here and here).

Its simple to install, and then you are ready to go.

At the start of every run, you must hold the main button for 3 seconds as you walk around. This will cause the shoe sensor to connect to your SportBand. See this article for more information on this process.
