From the project

A GB Link to 3.5mm adapter for syncing FMS with other devices (including Nanoloop)

A small PCB that plugs into a Game Boy link cable and breaks the sync lines out to a 3.5mm TRS jack, for clocking FMS and nanoloop against other gear — Pocket Operators, Volcas, eurorack, anything that takes an analog clock.

The previews are rendered bare, without the jack's 3D model, so the copper and silkscreen stay visible.

This matches the analog clock cable wiring in the FMS guide.
