.We’re big fans of unusual wrist watches here at Hackaday, so it failed to take lengthy just before a person phoned our focus to the gloriously radiant wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was putting on at this year’s Supercon.He contacts it the Glowtape, as well as it makes use of a thick variety of UV LEDs and also a long bit of glow-in-the-dark material to show the time and also time, in addition to images and also lengthy strings of content drawn up flat to develop an unscripted ensign. It appeared remarkable personally, with the energized places on the strip beautiful brilliantly during the night festivities in the alleyway.The text message and also images would fade reasonably rapidly, however virtual, that is actually hardly an issue when you are actually merely attempting to examine the current time. If there was actually one thing to restrict the functionality on this set, it would need to be the meter-long piece of product that you’ve got to maintain pressing and also pulling by means of the mechanism– but it’s a price our team agree to pay.Want one of your own?
[Henner] has actually discussed each of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD writings to create the 3D published enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the program. The LED range on its own is really a spin-off of his Glowxels job, which deserves looking at if you wish to recreate this principle on a much larger scale.This isn’t the first time our team have actually seen this procedure utilized for this kind of thing, however it may be one of the most portable model of the concept our company’ve observed so far.
