.We allow followers of uncommon timepieces below at Hackaday, so it didn’t take lengthy before somebody contacted our attention to the gloriously radiant watch that [Henner Zeller] was actually wearing at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, as well as it uses a dense variety of UV LEDs as well as a long strip of glow-in-the-dark component to feature the moment and date, as well as photos and also lengthy strands of content drawn up horizontally to develop an impromptu ensign. It appeared extraordinary in person, with the invigorated regions on the strip glowing brilliantly in the course of the night festivities in the alley.The text as well as pictures would vanish relatively promptly, yet virtual, that’s rarely an issue when you’re simply trying to check the existing opportunity. If there was something to confine the practicality on this set, it would must be the meter-long part of component that you’ve got to keep pushing and pulling with the system– yet it’s a rate our company’re willing to spend.Wish among your personal?
[Henner] has actually shared all 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 manages the program. The LED selection itself is actually a derivative of his Glowxels job, which is worth browsing through if you wish to recreate this concept on a much larger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time our experts’ve seen this technique made use of for this example, yet it might be the best sleek version of the principle our team’ve seen thus far.
