.Our experts’re big supporters of unusual wristwatches right here at Hackaday, so it failed to take long just before someone contacted our attention to the gloriously luminescent watch that [Henner Zeller] was putting on at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, as well as it makes use of a thick selection of UV LEDs and also a long bit of glow-in-the-dark material to present the moment as well as date, and also graphics and also lengthy cords of content written out flat to create an impromptu banner. It appeared extraordinary face to face, with the vitalized places on the strip beautiful vibrantly during the course of the evening celebrations in the back road.The text as well as photos will discolor relatively promptly, however in practice, that is actually rarely a trouble when you’re just trying to inspect the existing opportunity. If there was something to restrict the functionality on this one, it would certainly need to be actually the meter-long item of material that you’ve reached keep pushing and also taking with the device– however it’s a rate our team agree to pay out.Want one of your personal?
[Henner] has shared every one of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD writings to create the 3D imprinted enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the show. The LED selection itself is in fact a derivative of his Glowxels task, which costs taking a look at if you want to create this idea on a much larger scale.This isn’t the first time our team’ve observed this strategy utilized for this example, but it might be actually the absolute most small model of the concept our company have actually found up until now.
