.We allow followers of uncommon wrist watches here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take long before a person called our interest to the gloriously bright watch that [Henner Zeller] was wearing at this year’s Supercon.He contacts it the Glowtape, as well as it makes use of a dense assortment of UV LEDs as well as a lengthy bit of glow-in-the-dark component to display the time and also date, in addition to images and also lengthy cords of content written out horizontally to make an unplanned streamer. It looked remarkable in person, with the invigorated areas on the tape radiant brilliantly throughout the night events in the alley.The message and pictures would discolor relatively promptly, yet in practice, that’s rarely an issue when you’re simply attempting to inspect the existing opportunity. If there was actually something to limit the usefulness on this one, it would have to be actually the meter-long item of product that you’ve got to keep pressing and pulling through the device– yet it’s a cost our company want to pay for.Wish some of your own?
[Henner] has actually shared every one of the resource code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD scripts to produce the 3D published enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that operates the show. The LED range on its own is in fact a sequel of his Glowxels job, which costs checking out if you would love to create this idea on a much bigger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time we’ve seen this strategy used for this kind of thing, but it may be actually the most portable variation of the concept our company have actually viewed up until now.
