2,400 people · $20 each · one stubborn builder with a soldering iron

Help me turn weird tech ideas into real hardware.

I’m asking the internet for a simple kind of support: 2,400 people giving $20 so I can build, test, document, and launch independent electronics projects without waiting for some gatekeeper in a fleece vest to call it “market ready.”

Main Pitch

Your support, explained fast.

Your support, What I am asking for, Help me build my projects and change my life.

Ashen Amber

Proof-of-build energy.

Ashen and Amber is a spirit box for ghost hunting. It has a built in app for you to monitor the traffic. interactive and awesome.

The ask, without the circus music

I want to change my future by building.

This project is my public build fund. It gives people a small, clean way to help me push a stack of electronics projects forward: Ashen Amber, EMF and signal devices, custom boards, sensor rigs, embedded displays, motor-control experiments, and the kind of garage-lab machines that start ugly and eventually become useful.

What this helps fund

Real parts. Real boards. Real progress.

Ashen Amber

Smart SpiritBox / signal instrument

A haunted-tech device concept with RF, EMF-style readings, local dashboard ideas, amber interface design, and field-device energy. Less plastic toy. More “somebody in a garage made this because the commercial stuff got boring.”

Prototypes

Breadboard to board

Early circuit tests, sensor modules, firmware experiments, and the messy middle where ideas either survive or die correctly.

PCB Runs

Custom electronics

Board layouts, controller designs, keypads, sensor platforms, and hardware revisions that need actual fabrication money.

Embedded Systems

ESP32 tools + controllers

Wi-Fi/BLE devices, sensor dashboards, small controllers, web UIs, and smart hardware that can stand on its own.

Build Logs

Documented progress

Build photos, failures, fixes, wiring notes, videos, diagrams, and the unglamorous proof that something is actually happening.

Project network

The machines already crawling out of the shop.

The 24 Hundred Project supports the broader build ecosystem: mesh experiments, motor controllers, custom boards, paranormal tech, and service concepts being turned into real public-facing projects.

Mesh / Field Network CSprings Mesh

Local mesh networking experiments, coverage concepts, and off-grid signal infrastructure.

cspringsmesh.org ESC / RC Platform VoidRipX1

Custom RC control, ESC concepts, dashboards, telemetry, and high-current hardware development.

voidripx1.com Custom Boards Bumblebee Boards

Small-run electronics boards, controller platforms, and maker hardware built for actual use.

bumblebeeboards.store Signal Instrument Ashen & Amber

Smart spirit-box inspired hardware, RF sweep concepts, dashboards, and weird signal tools.

ashenamber.com Local Service Grime Reaper Sanitation

Trash-bin cleaning and sanitation service with a cleaner, sharper public-facing launch site.

grimereapersanitation.com YouTube / Music The Iron Inquisition

Industrial music, dark electronics, build culture, and the public signal from the shop floor.

Shop evidence

The workbench is the receipt.

Prototypes, boards, CAD, sensor rigs, motor-control experiments, composite work, and robotics builds. This is the kind of work the 24 Hundred Project pushes forward.

Build Reel

From raw parts to useful machines.

This section turns the site from a donation ask into a visible build record. Less hand-waving. More solder smoke and actual hardware.

The clean version

Give $20. Help build the next weird machine.

If this works, it proves something useful: regular people can fund independent builders directly and help real hardware get made without everything being filtered through investors, ads, or algorithm sludge.
