Destiny Spinner
Idea: from https://www.instructables.com/Automatic-Twister-Sp...
I want to make a spinner that can be use in game but it can also be use for other purpose as well, for example, use in class when the teacher are picking student to answer question, or for indecisive person to make choices. When you push the black button, the arrow will start spinning and when you stop, the arrow will stop and it will land on a random area.
The improvement I made is that the player can have a bit more involvement with their result. Instead of letting the machine to take complete controls of when to stop, the play can decide when is the best time to stop.

Build Your Circuit
Cut the outer layer (the paint coating) of two jump wire out
Connect it to the DC motor
Connect a wire with the button and plug it in D2
connect another wore to the button
Plug a wire into 5V and 55
Plug into GND and 49
Plug a wire from D3 to 43
Put a resistor between 55 to 43
Diode Rectifier on 56 to 51
Transistor from 49 to 51
Code
Decorate As You Wish
Take color pencil and a cardboard box to hide the DC motor. make an arrow for your spinner
