.Our company’re big followers of unique wristwatches below at Hackaday, so it really did not take long before someone phoned our interest to the gloriously bright watch that [Henner Zeller] was actually wearing at this year’s Supercon.He contacts it the Glowtape, and also it uses a dense collection of UV LEDs and also a long bit of glow-in-the-dark component to show the moment and time, and also images and long cords of text written out horizontally to develop an impromptu ensign. It looked fantastic face to face, with the vitalized locations on the tape beautiful vibrantly in the course of the evening celebrations in the back road.The text and also graphics would certainly fade rather quickly, yet in practice, that is actually hardly a problem when you are actually only attempting to check out the current time. If there was actually something to limit the functionality on this set, it will must be actually the meter-long item of component that you’ve come to keep pushing as well as pulling by means of the device– but it’s a rate our team agree to spend.Yearn for among your very own?
[Henner] has shared all of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD scripts to create the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that manages the program. The LED variety on its own is in fact a sequel of his Glowxels job, which is worth browsing through if you wish to create this idea on a much bigger scale.This isn’t the first time our experts’ve viewed this strategy used for this kind of thing, but it might be the most compact variation of the idea we’ve seen up until now.
