.We allow followers of unique time-keepers right here at Hackaday, so it failed to take long before a person called our interest to the gloriously luminescent wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was using at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, and it makes use of a dense variety of UV LEDs and also a lengthy strip of glow-in-the-dark component to present the moment and also date, along with photos and long strands of text message drawn up horizontally to produce an unplanned streamer. It appeared exceptional in person, with the energized places on the strip beautiful vibrantly throughout the night festivities in the back road.The message as well as graphics will vanish reasonably swiftly, however virtual, that is actually barely a complication when you are actually only trying to check the present opportunity. If there was something to limit the usefulness on this, it would have to be actually the meter-long part of component that you’ve reached maintain pressing and taking via the device– yet it’s a rate we agree to pay for.Yearn for among your very own?
[Henner] has shared every one of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD scripts to generate the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that manages the program. The LED range on its own is actually a sequel of his Glowxels venture, which costs visiting if you ‘d like to create this concept on a much bigger scale.This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this procedure made use of for this example, but it may be actually the absolute most small model of the concept our team’ve viewed so far.
