.We allow supporters of unusual timekeepers right here at Hackaday, so it failed to take long prior to somebody contacted our focus to the gloriously luminous wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was putting on at this year’s Supercon.He calls it the Glowtape, and also it makes use of a thick range of UV LEDs and a long bit of glow-in-the-dark material to present the time and also date, and also graphics and also long cords of message drawn up flat to create an unscripted streamer. It looked unparalleled in person, along with the invigorated regions on the strip beautiful vibrantly during the course of the night celebrations in the back road.The message and also photos would vanish fairly promptly, yet virtual, that is actually barely a concern when you are actually simply trying to examine the current opportunity. If there was actually something to confine the usefulness on this one, it would have to be actually the meter-long part of product that you have actually come to keep driving and taking by means of the device– however it’s a cost our company’re willing to pay.Desire some of your very own?
[Henner] has discussed all of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD scripts to produce the 3D imprinted 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 would love to recreate this concept on a much larger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time we’ve found this strategy used for this example, however it might be the most small variation of the idea our team have actually observed so far.
