Vines~Link is the Eurorack Module helps get the collaboration grooves.
This module allows you to Patch CV/Audio Signals from 3.5mm Jack's across Cat6/RJ45 cables to other Vines Link modules allowing collaboration between eurorack systems with the addition of labels you can be in sync with others or be pleasantly surprised of the randomness.
~Features~
• Patch CV/Audio Signals from Eurorack Jack's across Cat 6 cables too other Vines Link modules allowing collaboration of sounds between systems.
• Incoming Sounds are Displayed by LEDs Inside the Empty Jacks for a Visualise Signals. The LEDs are lit by the incoming systems power. They are wired to the Jacks internal Switch so when they are plugged in they are disconnected so there is no voltage drop to Signals.
• Label Jacks on the Silkscreen for Signal types
• Use the Numbering System for other types of collaboration.
• Alternative Rj45 Jack on the Back for Patches routed

I really liked the Idea that I got and was able to squeeze a alternative jack on the back of the module. So you can have more room for more of those pesky cables in front and back. Going to have many a grooves played through this adaptor. More Blinky lights the better.
Added a Back jack to a prototype that allows you to wire the patches on the inside of the synth with an cable. I might add another option for a backsided patches. Really liking the features of it.
Just Finished the Last version Blender Animation. I think it turned out really well and it is showing some improvements in my use of blender for these projects.
This is pretty much the finalised design. I think it turned out great. I think as a Passive module is pretty feature complete compared to the Original Design. Really like how the artwork turned out. Not bad for my First use of SMT Parts.
Added The Feature to Display incoming Signals to the Jacks. When the Jacks are Unplugged You can Visually see Incoming Signals. When you Plug a jack in the LEDs are Disconnected to prevent any Voltage Drop to the Patch. The module is still passive and I think it is Quite a clever way to add some Visual Feedback to this module. Still got a few Refinements to do. Before I order the First Prototype.
I am adding a optional LED SMD indication for signals. Which is a SMD LED behind the jack on the backside of the PCB. I got the idea from benjiaomodular Mini DIV. Benjiaomodular Project The LEDs will tell the user what channels are being used when unplugged. I think it is a very good idea. The module will still be passive getting lit by the sent voltages over Rj45 connector. When Plugged into the jack it will disconnect the LED So there wont be any voltage drop with the LED.
Another Fancy Blender Render. Only shows the front panel and the texture of back panel side. But you know you get the GIst of it. Still waiting on the Rj45 before I finalise the design and order the PCBS. An Probably render out a final GIF.
Been Putting the Finishing touches on my Vines Module. I dressed it up a bit with some fonts and custom themed artwork. I would like to thank a few people for the free commercial use fonts and my sister for the Tiki artwork.
