Spotted At Supercon: Glowtape Wearable Show

.Our team’re big followers of uncommon timepieces listed here at Hackaday, so it didn’t take long prior to someone called our attention to the gloriously luminescent timepiece that [Henner Zeller] was actually using at this year’s Supercon.He contacts it the Glowtape, as well as it uses a thick array of UV LEDs as well as a lengthy strip of glow-in-the-dark component to present the amount of time as well as day, and also photos as well as long strands of content written out flat to develop an impromptu streamer. It appeared phenomenal in person, with the energized regions on the strip glowing brilliantly throughout the night festivities in the back road.The text message and photos would discolor relatively quickly, however virtual, that is actually hardly a trouble when you’re merely trying to check out the current opportunity. If there was actually something to restrict the functionality on this set, it would have to be the meter-long part of product that you’ve come to maintain driving as well as drawing with the system– yet it is actually a rate our company agree to pay for.Yearn for one of your very own?

[Henner] has shared each of the source code for the wearable, coming from the OpenSCAD writings to produce the 3D imprinted enclosure to the C firmware for the RP2040 that manages the show. The LED array itself is actually a derivative of his Glowxels project, which is worth looking into if you ‘d like to recreate this idea on a much larger incrustation.This isn’t the very first time we have actually found this method used for this example, yet it might be the most small version of the idea our experts have actually seen thus far.
