.Our team’re big followers of uncommon time-keepers right here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take long prior to somebody called our interest to the gloriously radiant timepiece that [Henner Zeller] was actually using at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, and also it uses a heavy variety of UV LEDs and also a lengthy strip of glow-in-the-dark product to show the moment and also time, in addition to photos and long strings of text written out flat to create an unplanned streamer. It appeared phenomenal personally, along with the stimulated regions on the tape glowing brightly throughout the evening festivities in the back road.The message and also pictures would fade rather promptly, however in practice, that’s rarely a problem when you are actually just trying to examine the current time. If there was one thing to restrict the functionality on this one, it will must be the meter-long item of product that you have actually got to keep driving and taking via the system– however it is actually a cost our team agree to pay for.Wish among your very own?
[Henner] has discussed each one 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 operates the show. The LED variety itself is actually a spin-off of his Glowxels task, which costs browsing through if you wish to create this principle on a much bigger incrustation.This isn’t the first time we have actually observed this approach utilized for this example, however it may be actually one of the most compact variation of the idea our team’ve seen so far.
