.Our company’re big fans of unique watches right here at Hackaday, so it really did not take lengthy prior to someone phoned our interest to the gloriously bright wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was actually putting on at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, and also it utilizes a heavy assortment of UV LEDs and a long bit of glow-in-the-dark product to display the moment as well as time, and also images as well as lengthy cords of text written out horizontally to generate an unscripted ensign. It appeared fantastic in person, along with the invigorated areas on the tape glowing brilliantly in the course of the evening events in the alleyway.The message and also images would certainly fade relatively promptly, yet virtual, that is actually barely an issue when you’re simply making an effort to inspect the present opportunity. If there was actually something to limit the usefulness on this, it will need to be actually the meter-long part of component that you have actually reached keep driving and also taking through the device– however it’s a cost our team’re willing to spend.Wish some of your very own?
[Henner] has shared every one of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD writings to create the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that operates the series. The LED range on its own is actually a derivative of his Glowxels project, which is worth browsing through if you wish to recreate this idea on a much larger scale.This isn’t the first time our company have actually viewed this procedure utilized for this kind of thing, yet it may be actually the absolute most small version of the idea we’ve seen so far.
