this sounds like a super ouch to say the least :((((

so an update on this I have just come up against a fundamental floor in my logic. so im guessing they are actually RGB LED's now I know that the encoder can actually change the colour too. this means they probably dont have a common ground. so it may not actually be possible to keep the original system in place and I may very well need to rethink it.

Good point on the chip. As for the encoder it did cross my mind however I quickly realised I'd still need to redesign the bus boards. So I would do that but I think I have a solution hopefully. I'm getting in contact with the designer of the board. see what they have to say. Hopefully they will have an answer. My plan of making a ribbon cable is troublesome as gnd points are all over the cable. So if I don't in touch with the person who designed it. I'll probably re make the bus boards haha. Toallow for quicker switching and talking to the controller

If you were to pulse that encoder from an external microcontroller, I wonder how fast you could cycle to specific colors. Also, which control chip is that on the flex board? Might be worth checking the data sheet to see if there is a backlight control pin.
