.We’re big fans of unique wrist watches below at Hackaday, so it failed to take long just before somebody phoned our attention to the gloriously bright wristwatch that [Henner Zeller] was actually wearing at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, and also it uses a dense array of UV LEDs as well as a long strip of glow-in-the-dark component to present the moment as well as date, and also photos as well as long strings of text message written out flat to generate an unplanned ensign. It appeared sensational face to face, along with the invigorated areas on the strip beautiful brightly during the course of the evening festivities in the alley.The content and also photos would certainly vanish reasonably rapidly, yet virtual, that is actually barely a problem when you’re merely trying to examine the current time. If there was actually one thing to limit the practicality on this, it would must be the meter-long item of component that you’ve got to always keep pushing and drawing with the mechanism– yet it’s a cost our experts’re willing to spend.Prefer among your own?
[Henner] has shared every one of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD writings to produce the 3D published enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the program. The LED range itself is in fact a sequel of his Glowxels project, which is worth having a look at if you ‘d like to recreate this idea on a much bigger incrustation.This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this approach utilized for this example, however it might be the absolute most sleek version of the principle our company’ve found up until now.
