What was your solution to attach the magnets to the chain links? If you
used glue, what was the type?

I tried a few methods including bluTac, but I have lots of spare links so I
opted to use some of those. The only way I could attach them successfully was to
use a drop of superGlue. The magnets can still be pulled free if need be.
That was probably the thing I didn't expect when I first started working on this
idea. Once several magnets had connection there was a lot of torque placed on
the chain and motor. It took a few attempts to get the balance right.
