.Our experts’re big followers of unusual watches listed here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take lengthy just before a person called our focus to the gloriously luminescent wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was actually wearing at this year’s Supercon.He calls it the Glowtape, and also it utilizes a thick variety of UV LEDs as well as a long bit of glow-in-the-dark product to present the amount of time and also date, along with pictures as well as long cords of text message written out horizontally to develop an unplanned banner. It appeared exceptional in person, along with the vitalized areas on the strip beautiful brilliantly in the course of the night celebrations in the alley.The content as well as photos would certainly fade rather rapidly, yet in practice, that’s rarely an issue when you are actually simply trying to inspect the current opportunity. If there was one thing to limit the functionality on this one, it would need to be actually the meter-long part of component that you have actually got to maintain pressing as well as drawing through the mechanism– yet it is actually a cost our experts’re willing to pay.Really want among your own?
[Henner] has actually shared each one of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD scripts to produce the 3D published enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the show. The LED collection on its own is actually a derivative of his Glowxels project, which is worth having a look at if you would love to create this idea on a much larger scale.This isn’t the very first time our company have actually seen this method made use of for this kind of thing, however it might be actually the absolute most sleek version of the idea we’ve seen until now.
