.Our company’re big fans of uncommon time-keepers right here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take long just before somebody called our interest to the gloriously radiant wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was using at this year’s Supercon.He calls it the Glowtape, as well as it utilizes a heavy range of UV LEDs as well as a lengthy bit of glow-in-the-dark material to present the amount of time and also day, as well as images and also lengthy cords of message written out flat to produce an impromptu ensign. It appeared wonderful personally, along with the energized places on the strip radiant brilliantly during the course of the evening festivities in the alleyway.The content and images would discolor reasonably swiftly, but virtual, that is actually hardly a complication when you are actually only making an effort to check out the existing time. If there was actually one thing to restrict the usefulness on this set, it will need to be the meter-long item of product that you’ve come to keep driving and also drawing via the system– yet it is actually a price we want to pay out.Really want one of your own?
[Henner] has actually shared every one of the resource code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD writings to generate the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the program. The LED variety on its own is actually a spin-off of his Glowxels project, which is worth looking at if you want to create this principle on a much larger incrustation.This isn’t the first time our company have actually observed this strategy made use of for this kind of thing, but it might be the absolute most small variation of the principle our company’ve found so far.
