like so many such diagrams, they don't really say if they are talking 
about 
the male or female connector, or which orientation. that makes it 
confusing.

both the data and the power pins will show 5V on the meter. The data is 
active low, so it normally sits at 5V, then only toggles low when sending 
a 
bit. The power stays at 5V always, and I assume that is the one the pocket 
pedal uses for power so you want to keep that one.

it is right if they are talking about the backside of the male DIN 
connector, where the cable is soldered on to it. It is backwards if they 
are talking about looking into the pin side of the connector. They aren't 
clear which orientation they are describing.
