.Our team allow followers of unique wristwatches listed here at Hackaday, so it failed to take lengthy prior to a person contacted our attention to the gloriously bright timepiece that [Henner Zeller] was actually wearing at this year’s Supercon.He calls it the Glowtape, and it uses a dense assortment of UV LEDs and also a lengthy bit of glow-in-the-dark component to show the amount of time and also time, and also pictures and long strands of content written out horizontally to produce an unscripted ensign. It appeared wonderful personally, along with the energized locations on the tape radiant brightly during the night celebrations in the alley.The content as well as pictures will discolor reasonably promptly, yet virtual, that’s hardly a problem when you are actually merely making an effort to check out the present time. If there was actually one thing to confine the practicality on this, it will need to be the meter-long piece of component that you’ve got to always keep driving as well as drawing via the system– but it’s a cost our company’re willing to spend.Prefer among your personal?
[Henner] has actually discussed each one of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD writings to generate the 3D imprinted enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that manages the show. The LED array on its own is actually a spin-off of his Glowxels project, which deserves looking at if you wish to recreate this concept on a much larger scale.This isn’t the very first time our company’ve observed this approach utilized for this kind of thing, but it might be the best sleek model of the principle our team have actually observed up until now.
