.We allow followers of unique time-keepers right here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take long just before somebody phoned our attention to the gloriously luminous wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was wearing at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, and it makes use of a dense variety of UV LEDs and also a long bit of glow-in-the-dark material to display the moment and time, along with graphics as well as long strands of text drawn up horizontally to produce an impromptu streamer. It looked phenomenal personally, with the energized locations on the tape glowing brilliantly during the course of the evening celebrations in the alleyway.The text message and also images will fade fairly quickly, however virtual, that’s hardly a problem when you are actually merely attempting to check the existing opportunity. If there was one thing to limit the functionality on this one, it will have to be the meter-long item of product that you have actually reached maintain pushing and also pulling with the system– yet it is actually a cost our company agree to spend.Wish one of your own?
[Henner] has actually discussed each one of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD scripts to create the 3D published enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that operates the series. The LED array on its own is in fact a sequel of his Glowxels job, which deserves taking a look at if you wish to create this idea on a much bigger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time we have actually seen this procedure made use of for this kind of thing, however it may be actually one of the most portable version of the concept our company have actually observed so far.
