I never had any fidget spinner (though I tend to play with ball bearings from time to time) and also never had a POV display. Both of these captured my attention, although they never quite made it to the "can't live without it" stage.

Recently, there have been a few setbacks in my personal life that I currently want to distract myself from. So when I read the article about fidget spinners, I started to wonder if anyone had ever made one into a POV display. Apparently, no one had, but I was still not sufficiently motivated to make one. When Mike reminded us of the IuT contest, however, that was more or less the final straw. So I decided to hack together a IoT POV fidget spinner by Monday. Obviously, I won't be able to have a working device by then, but at least PCB design and the parts order should be done by then. Also, everything required for this round of the Prize should be achievable this weekend:

1. Discuss the challenge the project addresses
2. Discuss how the project will alleviate or solve the problem that the project addresses
3. Discuss how the project might be world changing
4. Publish at least one (1) image illustrating how the project might be used. This may be a sketch, schematic, flow chart, rendering, or other type of image.
5. Link to any repositories (e.g., Github)
6. Document all open-source licenses and permissions as well as any applicable third-party licenses/restrictions
7. Submit the Project to 2017 Hackaday Prize using the “Submit project to...” option found on the published Project Profile.
8. Show at least four (4) Project Log or Instructions updates on your Project Profile
