.Our company allow followers of unusual timekeepers right here at Hackaday, so it really did not take lengthy prior to somebody phoned our interest to the gloriously radiant timepiece that [Henner Zeller] was actually wearing at this year’s Supercon.He calls it the Glowtape, and it uses a dense selection of UV LEDs as well as a long bit of glow-in-the-dark component to display the amount of time and also date, as well as graphics as well as long strings of text written out horizontally to create an unplanned streamer. It looked exceptional personally, along with the invigorated areas on the strip radiant brilliantly during the evening festivities in the alley.The text message and images would certainly discolor fairly rapidly, but in practice, that’s hardly a problem when you’re only trying to examine the current opportunity. If there was actually something to restrict the usefulness on this, it will must be actually the meter-long item of material that you have actually come to always keep driving as well as drawing through the device– however it’s a cost our experts’re willing to spend.Really want among your own?
[Henner] has shared each of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD scripts to generate the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that operates the series. The LED assortment itself is actually a spin-off of his Glowxels job, which deserves browsing through if you ‘d like to recreate this concept on a much bigger incrustation.This isn’t the first time our team’ve observed this strategy made use of for this example, but it may be the best compact variation of the concept we have actually found up until now.
