.Our team’re big supporters of unusual time-keepers here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take lengthy just before somebody phoned our interest to the gloriously bright wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was actually wearing at this year’s Supercon.He calls it the Glowtape, as well as it uses a dense collection of UV LEDs and a long bit of glow-in-the-dark material to show the moment and also day, as well as graphics as well as long strands of text message written out flat to create an impromptu banner. It appeared fantastic face to face, with the invigorated regions on the tape radiant brilliantly during the evening events in the alleyway.The text and also images would certainly discolor reasonably swiftly, however in practice, that is actually hardly a concern when you’re just making an effort to inspect the current time. If there was actually something to confine the functionality on this set, it would must be actually the meter-long part of component that you’ve got to keep driving and also taking through the system– however it’s a rate our company’re willing to pay out.Yearn for among your own?
[Henner] has actually shared each one of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD writings to produce the 3D imprinted enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that operates the show. The LED range on its own is really a sequel of his Glowxels task, which deserves looking into if you would love to create this idea on a much larger incrustation.This isn’t the first time our experts’ve observed this approach used for this example, however it may be the best portable variation of the concept our company have actually seen so far.
