So I know this might seem foolish, but I’m still a newbie. But I have obtained a few accent neo pixels and was wondering if I always wore the positive pads to the +Battery tab like it has me doing for the single neopixel accents I have in the crystal chamber. Picked up a couple 5 pixel 2020 strips and a Shtok 16 pixel accent ring. If I have to wire it to the batt+ tab that would mean about 5-6 wire connecting to it. So if that’s the case I was planning on running two wires from the batt + and then connecting two bundles of 3 wires together and then connecting those to the two running out of the batt + to save some space and headaches. I fell like that’s the way to do it but just want some confirmation on how to get power to the accents. I know this seems really simple 
but I honestly struggle sometime with my TBI
For small strips and accent pixels I’ll run them either direct from the battery or off the extra positive pads on the blade pixel connector depending on what’s cleaner for wiring layout.
Depending on the accents you could also run some of them in series chaining positive, negative and data if they have pads for it
I did chain the pixels for the CC but was trying to figure the other ones. I think I’ll do what you suggested with the extra + pad for the ring and probably the strips off the batt+ then. Thanks I appreciate it.
quick question similar to above can I wire the ground for the Pixel ring to the 2nd ground on the pixel of the CC since it has two ground pads?
As long as the blade connector has beefy wires right from the battery (+), you can come off of one of the other (+) pads with smaller wires to feed accents no problem (and those can be smaller gauge)
The negatives however are better suited going to separate LED pads on the board. Could you use the same ones? Sure. Just be sure to use #define SHARED_POWER_PINS in your CONFIG_TOP section of the config because the data for the 2 destinations are different “blades”.
Roger that. Thanks. I do have shared power pins defined.
