This is complete set of magnetic contacts organized in diode matrix. If you have organ pedalboard, and look for easy way of adding MIDI to it, all you need is the following set, and matching controller. For standalone pedals with individual MIDI output you need to plug the PEDSCAN module. If the pedals are integral part of bigger console, you need the PDS board that connects to a master controller.

New REED32 boards add an option to connect not only to PEDSCAN or PDS, but also typical for MIDI-hardware 16-pin connector found on MIDI128 and DMS-2K. There is a spot to solder 16-pin header compatible with 8x8 diode matrix layout used in dafault configuration of MIDI128 and DMS-2K. You need to solder a header there yourself then, there's no option to select with 1x12-pin or 2x8-pin headers. However, there is always a small number of boards already made with 16-pin header only, so if you ask for its availability, it may happen it's there for you.

Magnets are always included as in the pictures below

It consists of 3 PCBs linked with ribbon cable, so it's easier to ship, but most of all they can be aligned in arc, which sometimes helps in radial pedals. Also, the boards can be bent to some extent, so concave pedals can also be MIDIfied with REED32.

In order to connect the boards together, pull out the black part of the connector as shown here:

then put the flat cable inside, blue side up, as in the photo below:

then slide the black part back fully, so it looks like this:

Finished link should look like this. There are 2 cables in one REED32 set to link 3 boards:
