// Fidget spinner logic.
// This class represents a fidget spinner that can be spun to a specified
// velocity and then over time will slow down and stop.  The spinner keeps track
// of its continuous (floating point) position value within the range 0...<10
// so it can map to CircuitPlayground pixel positions easily.// Author: Tony DiCola
// License: MIT License (https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
// Usage:
// - Create an instance of the class (specifying a custom decay value between 0 and 1,
//   the lower the decay the faster the spinner slows down).
// - Call spin to start the spinner moving at the specified velocity (in pixels/second).
// - Call getPosition periodically to get the current spinner position given an elapsed
//   amount of seconds since the last getPosition call.
