Correct way to wire up rebel RGRb to Cf?
Hey guys, I've done a bunch of reading, so this is mainly to confirm what I think I understand already.
I've also posted this on the fx boards, I don't know if it's ok to post links to it or not.
I'm getting ready to wire up my tri rebel, red green royal blue to a crystal focus 6.1 with color mixing board. The last GGR with a CF I did, I tied all the negatives together into 1, but it looks like with the color mixing board you need to have each color on it's own neg wire so that the color mixing board works properly. Is this correct?
I'm following this diagram

I'd also like my crystal chamber to be the same color as my main blade and I think with my common cathode RGB LED this is the best way to go about this.

CF6 Multicolor Problem with ColorXtender
That shows a few different main blade colors with a single RGB 5mm led in the crystal chamber lighting up the corresponding color. What I did was hooked the B to accent pad 1, G to pad 2, R to pad 3, and then indicated which pad/combination of pads to light up during font selection for the menu, which to ignite during each font, as well as how to behave during ignition. Granted, I didn't have it directly mirroring the blade during FoC, but I put the settings for the accents in such a way that it flickered fast enough that it looked to the eye to be mirroring the blade's flicker. In the end the customer wanted to just go with a solid constantly lit color matching the blade color, so that was a bit simpler of a config that doing all the different delays ;D
So my concern is mostly which of these statements are correct?
1 neg wire tied to all the rebel's neg LED pads and just splice off that single wire
or
using a separate neg wire for every rebel die and each of those goes to it's own spot on the color mixing board (cex)
