.Our team’re big followers of unique time-keepers below at Hackaday, so it didn’t take lengthy prior to somebody phoned our attention to the gloriously radiant wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was putting on at this year’s Supercon.He calls it the Glowtape, and it utilizes a dense variety of UV LEDs and also a long strip of glow-in-the-dark product to show the amount of time and also time, along with pictures and long cords of content drawn up flat to make an unplanned banner. It appeared remarkable personally, along with the vitalized regions on the tape beautiful brightly in the course of the night festivities in the back road.The message as well as pictures would certainly vanish fairly promptly, however in practice, that is actually barely a trouble when you’re simply making an effort to examine the present time. If there was one thing to limit the functionality on this set, it would have to be the meter-long item of component that you have actually got to keep pressing and also pulling by means of the mechanism– yet it is actually a cost our team want to pay out.Want one of your very own?
[Henner] has shared all of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD writings to generate the 3D published enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the show. The LED assortment itself is in fact a spin-off of his Glowxels job, which is worth looking at if you want to create this concept on a much bigger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time our team’ve viewed this method used for this kind of thing, yet it might be one of the most small variation of the idea we have actually observed so far.
