.We’re big fans of uncommon time-keepers right here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take lengthy prior to someone contacted our attention to the gloriously luminescent wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was putting on at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, and it uses a dense selection of UV LEDs and also a long strip of glow-in-the-dark component to display the moment as well as date, along with photos and also long strands of text message written out flat to generate an impromptu banner. It looked fantastic in person, along with the energized areas on the tape beautiful vibrantly throughout the evening events in the alleyway.The text message and also images would vanish fairly quickly, however in practice, that is actually barely a complication when you’re simply trying to examine the present opportunity. If there was actually one thing to confine the functionality on this, it would must be actually the meter-long item of product that you’ve reached maintain pressing as well as drawing with the system– however it’s a rate our team agree to pay out.Yearn for one of your own?
[Henner] has actually discussed every one of the resource code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD scripts to generate the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that manages the show. The LED array itself is really a derivative of his Glowxels task, which is worth having a look at if you would love to create this principle on a much bigger incrustation.This isn’t the first time our company have actually found this technique made use of for this kind of thing, yet it may be the most sleek model of the principle our company have actually seen until now.
