When connecting plastic rectangles to the ssc, should I ignore the the colors, and hook up + to +, - to -, and data to data in? It might sound like a stupid question, but I want to get it right before i apply power. With using the connectors from ray, I have the ssc connected as in the manual, but to line up the wires from the plastic rectangles to the 3 wire connector, I'd have to switch the blue and the green to get the - and data to connect to the same on the ssc.

That's the way I've got mine connected. Been working so far.

If you look in the Wiki, the rectangle nodes are wired Red +, Blue - and Green Data. This should match what is printed on the circuit board of the node.
I would not pay so much attention to the colors and be sure to match the +, - and data on the node PCB to the +, - and data on the SSC PCB.
