.We’re big fans of unusual watches right here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take lengthy before somebody contacted our attention to the gloriously luminous watch that [Henner Zeller] was actually wearing at this year’s Supercon.He contacts it the Glowtape, as well as it uses a thick range of UV LEDs as well as a long strip of glow-in-the-dark component to present the amount of time and also date, in addition to images and lengthy strings of content drawn up flat to create an unplanned ensign. It looked incredible personally, with the vitalized places on the tape glowing brightly during the course of the night events in the back road.The text and pictures would certainly vanish rather swiftly, but virtual, that’s rarely a concern when you are actually just making an effort to inspect the present time. If there was something to limit the practicality on this set, it will must be actually the meter-long part of component that you’ve reached keep pressing and pulling with the system– yet it’s a cost we’re willing to pay out.Yearn for among your very own?
[Henner] has shared every one of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD scripts to produce the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the program. The LED collection itself is really a spin-off of his Glowxels task, which deserves having a look at if you wish to recreate this principle on a much larger scale.This isn’t the very first time our team have actually viewed this approach used for this example, but it might be actually the most compact model of the concept our team have actually found thus far.
