Help with computer install

Ok so i just installed a Trek incite 11i on my bike. I had read a few of the previous threads so i knew to make sure the right sensors were in the right places etc... However now that it's set up the speedometer works fine however the cadence sensor remains permanently at 0. Any suggestions on how i could fix this?

Sometimes the magnet on the crank arm is too far from the sensor on the chain stay. Rotate the sensor so it is as close as possible to the crank arm, and/or put a spacer behind the magnet to decrease the gap between the magnet and sensor.
