.Our team’re big supporters of unique clocks here at Hackaday, so it failed to take long just before a person called our interest to the gloriously luminous wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was using at this year’s Supercon.He calls it the Glowtape, as well as it utilizes a heavy assortment of UV LEDs and also a long bit of glow-in-the-dark component to feature the amount of time and also date, in addition to pictures and long cords of content drawn up flat to create an unscripted ensign. It appeared phenomenal face to face, with the invigorated places on the strip beautiful brilliantly during the course of the night events in the alleyway.The text message and images will discolor rather swiftly, but virtual, that is actually hardly an issue when you are actually only attempting to examine the current time. If there was actually one thing to limit the practicality on this, it will must be actually the meter-long piece of component that you have actually got to keep pushing and taking through the system– but it is actually a price we want to pay for.Prefer some of your own?
[Henner] has actually discussed every one of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD scripts to generate the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the program. The LED selection itself is in fact a derivative of his Glowxels project, which deserves looking into if you wish to recreate this idea on a much bigger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time our team have actually seen this method made use of for this kind of thing, yet it may be actually the most small model of the principle our team’ve viewed thus far.
