.We’re big fans of unusual timekeepers listed here at Hackaday, so it really did not take long just before someone phoned our attention to the gloriously radiant timepiece that [Henner Zeller] was actually putting on at this year’s Supercon.He contacts it the Glowtape, as well as it utilizes a thick selection of UV LEDs and also a long bit of glow-in-the-dark material to display the amount of time and day, in addition to graphics and long cords of content drawn up horizontally to create an unscripted streamer. It appeared amazing in person, with the vitalized places on the tape radiant brightly in the course of the evening festivities in the alley.The content and also images will fade reasonably rapidly, yet in practice, that’s hardly a trouble when you’re merely attempting to check out the existing time. If there was one thing to confine the functionality on this set, it would certainly must be actually the meter-long piece of component that you have actually reached keep pressing and taking through the device– but it is actually a rate we agree to pay out.Want some of your very own?
[Henner] has shared each one of the source code for the wearable, from the OpenSCAD scripts to generate the 3D printed enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the show. The LED assortment on its own is really a sequel of his Glowxels project, which is worth looking into if you want to recreate this principle on a much larger incrustation.This isn’t the first time we have actually viewed this procedure used for this example, yet it may be the absolute most small version of the concept our team’ve seen so far.
