I-Pac_Ultimate Ground Wire

AttackYak42:
Hey there I'm almost done wiring up my I-Pac-Ultimate but I have a question. I have a few rgb leds for my main buttons but for my coin up buttons I have some cheaper ones with 3 pins, one for the led one for the switch and a common ground. Where would you guys suggest I solder the common ground to, or a better question are all the grounds on the I-Pac connected? Thanks in advance!

Which type of buttons do you have? (both of these use a 3-pin harness)
Are they 4-tab ones like this . . .
. . . or 3-pin ones like this? (related threads here and here)

The input grounds are all connected to each other, but the LED grounds are controlled separately.
If you look at the labels for LED pins 1-48 (lower left), you see "+ R G B"
- + is operating voltage for the LED
- R, G, and B are the controllable Red, Green, and Blue channel grounds. (more details here)
- The "+" pins don't count for numbering. The first row is pins 1-3 -- + (not numbered), R (pin 1), G (pin 2), and B. (pin 3)
