Spotted At Supercon: Glowtape Wearable Show

.Our team’re big supporters of unusual wrist watches right here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take long just before somebody contacted our interest to the gloriously bright watch that [Henner Zeller] was putting on at this year’s Supercon.He phones it the Glowtape, as well as it makes use of a heavy array of UV LEDs as well as a long bit of glow-in-the-dark product to display the time as well as day, as well as pictures and also long strings of content written out horizontally to make an impromptu ensign. It looked wonderful face to face, along with the invigorated regions on the strip glowing brilliantly throughout the night celebrations in the alley.The text and pictures would discolor rather swiftly, yet in practice, that is actually barely a trouble when you’re merely trying to check the existing time. If there was actually one thing to restrict the functionality on this set, it would certainly have to be actually the meter-long item of material that you have actually reached always keep pushing and also taking through the device– yet it is actually a cost our company’re willing to spend.Really want one of your own?

[Henner] has actually discussed each one of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD writings to create the 3D published enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the series. The LED variety on its own is really a derivative of his Glowxels job, which costs having a look at if you want to recreate this idea on a much larger incrustation.This isn’t the first time our team’ve found this approach made use of for this example, however it may be actually one of the most compact model of the idea our team have actually found until now.
