.We allow enthusiasts of uncommon time-keepers here at Hackaday, so it failed to take long before somebody contacted our interest to the gloriously luminescent wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was wearing at this year’s Supercon.He contacts it the Glowtape, as well as it uses a thick range of UV LEDs and also a lengthy strip of glow-in-the-dark component to display the amount of time and also date, as well as pictures as well as lengthy strings of content drawn up flat to generate an impromptu banner. It appeared unparalleled in person, along with the vitalized regions on the tape radiant vibrantly throughout the evening events in the alley.The text message and also images will discolor relatively quickly, yet virtual, that is actually rarely an issue when you are actually simply making an effort to examine the current time. If there was something to confine the functionality on this one, it would certainly must be actually the meter-long part of component that you’ve come to maintain driving as well as taking via the mechanism– but it’s a rate we agree to pay.Prefer some of your own?
[Henner] has actually discussed all of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD scripts to create the 3D imprinted enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the program. The LED array itself is really a derivative of his Glowxels job, which is worth checking out if you wish to create this idea on a much bigger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time our team’ve viewed this strategy made use of for this example, yet it may be the most compact variation of the principle our team’ve observed so far.
