.Our team’re big fans of unusual clocks below at Hackaday, so it didn’t take long prior to somebody contacted our focus to the gloriously radiant timepiece that [Henner Zeller] was actually putting on at this year’s Supercon.He calls it the Glowtape, and also it makes use of a heavy variety of UV LEDs and a long bit of glow-in-the-dark product to present the time as well as time, along with graphics as well as lengthy strings of text drawn up flat to create an impromptu banner. It looked phenomenal in person, with the vitalized regions on the tape radiant brilliantly during the course of the night festivities in the back road.The content as well as graphics will fade rather promptly, but in practice, that’s barely a problem when you are actually just trying to inspect the existing time. If there was actually one thing to restrict the functionality on this one, it will need to be actually the meter-long item of product that you’ve come to always keep driving as well as pulling by means of the system– yet it is actually a price we agree to spend.Really want among your very own?
[Henner] has actually discussed every one of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD scripts to produce the 3D published enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that runs the show. The LED assortment itself is in fact a spin-off of his Glowxels job, which costs having a look at if you wish to recreate this concept on a much bigger scale.This isn’t the first time our company’ve seen this approach utilized for this kind of thing, but it may be actually the most compact variation of the principle our experts have actually seen up until now.
