The total survey area covered 174~deg$^2$ in the ecliptic plane. Reliable rotation periods for 1,438 asteroids are obtained from a larger data set of 6,551 mostly main-belt asteroids, each with $\\geq 10$~detections. Analysis of 1751, PTF based, reliable rotation periods clearly shows the \"spin barrier\" at $\\sim 2$~hours for \"rubble-pile\" asteroids.
