.We’re big supporters of uncommon wristwatches here at Hackaday, so it really did not take long just before somebody phoned our focus to the gloriously radiant wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was actually putting on at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, and also it makes use of a heavy range of UV LEDs and a lengthy strip of glow-in-the-dark product to show the moment and date, and also images and long cords of content drawn up flat to produce an unscripted streamer. It looked wonderful in person, with the vitalized locations on the strip beautiful brightly during the course of the night festivities in the back road.The message as well as photos will vanish rather quickly, but in practice, that is actually barely a problem when you’re simply making an effort to examine the present opportunity. If there was something to confine the practicality on this set, it will need to be the meter-long part of product that you’ve reached keep driving as well as taking via the mechanism– yet it is actually a cost our team’re willing to pay.Yearn for one of your own?
[Henner] has actually shared each one of the resource code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD scripts to create the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that manages the series. The LED collection itself is really a derivative of his Glowxels project, which deserves taking a look at if you want to recreate this idea on a much larger scale.This isn’t the first time our experts’ve observed this procedure used for this example, yet it might be actually the absolute most small variation of the concept we have actually seen until now.
