.Our company’re big supporters of unique wristwatches right here at Hackaday, so it really did not take long just before someone called our interest to the gloriously luminescent timepiece that [Henner Zeller] was actually putting on at this year’s Supercon.He calls it the Glowtape, as well as it makes use of a thick array of UV LEDs as well as a lengthy bit of glow-in-the-dark product to display the time as well as date, as well as photos and long cords of content drawn up horizontally to create an unscripted streamer. It appeared unparalleled personally, with the stimulated areas on the tape beautiful vibrantly during the course of the night festivities in the back road.The text message and also graphics would discolor fairly rapidly, yet virtual, that is actually barely a trouble when you are actually just making an effort to check the current opportunity. If there was actually one thing to limit the functionality on this one, it would certainly have to be the meter-long piece of product that you’ve got to always keep pushing as well as taking by means of the device– however it is actually a price our experts agree to pay out.Prefer among your personal?
[Henner] has actually shared each of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD scripts to generate the 3D imprinted enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the show. The LED array itself is in fact a sequel of his Glowxels project, which costs visiting if you wish to recreate this idea on a much larger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time our company have actually viewed this strategy used for this example, but it might be the absolute most small variation of the principle our company’ve viewed up until now.
