.Our company’re big enthusiasts of uncommon timepieces here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take lengthy prior to somebody called our interest to the gloriously bright watch that [Henner Zeller] was wearing at this year’s Supercon.He contacts it the Glowtape, and it uses a dense selection of UV LEDs and also a lengthy bit of glow-in-the-dark component to present the moment and also date, as well as photos and long strings of message drawn up flat to develop an unscripted ensign. It looked incredible personally, along with the energized regions on the tape radiant vibrantly throughout the evening events in the alleyway.The text message and also graphics would vanish rather quickly, however virtual, that’s rarely an issue when you are actually only trying to inspect the current time. If there was actually something to limit the functionality on this one, it will must be actually the meter-long item of component that you have actually reached maintain pressing as well as drawing through the mechanism– but it’s a rate our experts’re willing to pay.Want some of your very own?
[Henner] has discussed each of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD writings to create the 3D published enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the series. The LED array itself is in fact a spin-off of his Glowxels venture, which costs checking out if you want to recreate this concept on a much larger scale.This isn’t the first time our experts have actually found this method made use of for this example, yet it might be the most compact variation of the idea our team have actually viewed thus far.
