.Our team allow fans of unusual timepieces right here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take lengthy prior to a person phoned our focus to the gloriously luminescent wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was actually putting on at this year’s Supercon.He contacts it the Glowtape, as well as it utilizes a dense assortment of UV LEDs and also a lengthy strip of glow-in-the-dark material to present the time and also time, in addition to images and long cords of text message written out flat to produce an unplanned streamer. It appeared extraordinary personally, along with the invigorated areas on the strip beautiful vibrantly in the course of the night events in the alley.The text message and also pictures will discolor reasonably quickly, yet in practice, that is actually hardly an issue when you’re simply trying to inspect the current opportunity. If there was actually something to restrict the practicality on this one, it would must be the meter-long part of component that you have actually come to keep pressing and drawing through the device– but it’s a price our team want to pay out.Want one of your own?
[Henner] has actually discussed each one of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD scripts to create the 3D published enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the program. The LED array itself is actually a derivative of his Glowxels venture, which costs having a look at if you want to recreate this idea on a much larger scale.This isn’t the very first time we’ve found this strategy used for this kind of thing, however it might be actually the absolute most sleek model of the concept our company’ve viewed so far.
