.Our team allow supporters of uncommon wristwatches right here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take long just before somebody phoned our interest to the gloriously bright watch that [Henner Zeller] was using at this year’s Supercon.He calls it the Glowtape, as well as it makes use of a thick collection of UV LEDs and also a long strip of glow-in-the-dark product to present the moment and date, and also pictures and long cords of content drawn up horizontally to create an impromptu banner. It appeared phenomenal face to face, along with the stimulated locations on the strip glowing brightly in the course of the night festivities in the alleyway.The text message and also images would fade rather swiftly, however virtual, that’s barely a trouble when you’re just attempting to inspect the present time. If there was actually something to restrict the practicality on this, it would certainly have to be actually the meter-long part of product that you’ve come to maintain driving and also taking through the device– but it’s a rate we’re willing to pay out.Desire among your own?
[Henner] has actually discussed all of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD scripts to generate the 3D imprinted enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that manages the program. The LED variety itself is really a derivative of his Glowxels project, which costs browsing through if you would love to recreate this principle on a much larger scale.This isn’t the first time our experts have actually found this technique used for this kind of thing, yet it might be actually the best compact version of the idea our team’ve observed up until now.
