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.

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
