.We’re big supporters of unique time-keepers right here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take long just before someone phoned our attention to the gloriously luminous timepiece that [Henner Zeller] was using at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, as well as it utilizes a dense range of UV LEDs and a lengthy bit of glow-in-the-dark product to display the time as well as date, and also graphics and also lengthy strings of message drawn up horizontally to produce an impromptu streamer. It looked exceptional personally, with the energized places on the tape radiant vibrantly during the course of the evening festivities in the alley.The text as well as photos would vanish fairly quickly, yet virtual, that is actually rarely an issue when you are actually simply making an effort to check the present opportunity. If there was one thing to confine the functionality on this one, it would have to be the meter-long item of component that you have actually reached always keep pushing and taking through the system– however it is actually a price we agree to pay out.Wish some of your very own?
[Henner] has actually shared each of the resource code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD writings to create the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the program. The LED variety itself is actually a derivative of his Glowxels task, which is worth checking out if you would love to create this idea on a much larger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time our company’ve viewed this strategy utilized for this example, yet it may be actually one of the most portable version of the idea our team have actually viewed up until now.
