.Our team’re big enthusiasts of unusual time-keepers right here at Hackaday, so it failed to take lengthy prior to somebody called our attention to the gloriously luminescent wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was wearing at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, and it makes use of a dense variety of UV LEDs as well as a long strip of glow-in-the-dark product to display the time and day, along with pictures and also long strands of message drawn up flat to make an unplanned ensign. It looked incredible face to face, along with the invigorated locations on the strip beautiful brilliantly during the course of the night events in the alleyway.The content and photos would certainly vanish relatively quickly, yet in practice, that’s rarely a trouble when you are actually merely trying to check out the current time. If there was actually one thing to confine the usefulness on this one, it would have to be the meter-long part of material that you’ve reached keep driving as well as drawing with the mechanism– however it is actually a cost our company want to spend.Wish some of your personal?
[Henner] has shared every one of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD scripts to produce the 3D published enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that operates the show. The LED assortment on its own is actually a spin-off of his Glowxels project, which deserves visiting if you wish to create this idea on a much bigger incrustation.This isn’t the first time we have actually viewed this approach utilized for this example, but it might be actually the most compact model of the idea we have actually viewed so far.
