.Our team allow supporters of unique timekeepers here at Hackaday, so it failed to take lengthy before a person called our focus to the gloriously luminescent timepiece that [Henner Zeller] was wearing at this year’s Supercon.He contacts it the Glowtape, as well as it makes use of a heavy array of UV LEDs and also a long bit of glow-in-the-dark product to present the time and also date, along with photos as well as long cords of message written out flat to create an unplanned streamer. It appeared sensational personally, with the invigorated locations on the tape radiant vibrantly throughout the night celebrations in the back road.The text message and pictures would vanish reasonably promptly, yet virtual, that is actually barely a problem when you’re simply trying to check the existing time. If there was actually something to limit the usefulness on this, it will must be actually the meter-long part of component that you have actually reached keep driving and also drawing through the system– yet it is actually a rate we want to pay for.Prefer among your personal?
[Henner] has actually shared each of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD writings to generate the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that manages the show. The LED collection on its own is really a derivative of his Glowxels venture, which deserves looking at if you would love to recreate this concept on a much larger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time our company’ve seen this approach used for this example, however it may be actually the absolute most portable model of the idea our experts’ve viewed thus far.
