connecting 3 units of MPR121 to MEGA

Hey,

ive managed to connect 1 MPR121 breakout board and make it work.

now in a bit of challenge to connect 3 units of MPR121 breakout boards to an Arduino Mega.

wiring - ive connected jumper wires via the breadboard from the first MPR121 to the other MPR Sensors

Except for the irq . is this right ? should i connect address in some way ? - a diagram could help.

code - what should i add in the code in order to make all the electrodes work ?

im using the original example code :

Thanks
