Jim Saul Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hey, I just got DC controller yesterday and am hooking it up to some RGB ribbons right now.The RGB ribbons have a common positive. When I connect them to the controller, do I need to connect the positive from all 3 channels together or can I just use one positive and the 3 negatives?

Im a good paycheck away from jumping the RGB bandwagon but Im trying to get all the mysterys out of the way first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
