Impossible to add the chains with a touchpad.
3 comments

Using it with a touchpad is far from ideal, but you should be able to manage it by drawing the chain very widely around the gears. The chain will be tightened automatically.
You need to create two gears, a big one and a small one, then place the small one directly in the center of the big one. You can then attach a chain around a gear. Took me forever.
Same problem on my Galaxy Nexus, I tried all combinations of placing a belt, and it just wouldn't work.
