+ * Spinning Wheel effect - LED animates around 1D strip (or each column in a 2D matrix), slows down and stops at random position
+ *  Created by Bob Loeffler and claude.ai
+ *  First slider (Spin speed) is for the speed of the moving/spinning LED (random number within a narrow speed range).
+ *     If value is 0, a random speed will be selected from the full range of values.
+ *  Second slider (Spin slowdown start time) is for how long before the slowdown phase starts (random number within a narrow time range).
+ *     If value is 0, a random time will be selected from the full range of values.
+ *  Third slider (Spinner size) is for the number of pixels that make up the spinner.
+ *  Fourth slider (Spin delay) is for how long it takes for the LED to start spinning again after the previous spin.
+ *  The first checkbox allows the spinner to spin. If it's enabled, the spinner will do its thing. If it's not enabled, it will wait for the user to enable
+ *     it either by clicking the checkbox or by pressing a physical button (e.g. using a playlist to run a couple presets that have JSON API codes).
+ *  The second checkbox sets "color per block" mode. Enabled means that each spinner block will be the same color no matter what its LED position is.
+ *  The third checkbox enables synchronized restart (all spinners restart together instead of individually).
+ *  aux0 stores the settings checksum to detect changes
+ *  aux1 stores the color scale for performance
