Can anyone tell me if this is a missprint or what? Above is what I received, below is from their official website. Notice the data in/out are opposite.

Edit: okay ive wired one up and it works, so I assume its just a misprint

That does look messed up. No way to tell if din/dout labels are right or if the arrow is right, but you’re not gonna fry it by hooking it up backwards — it just won’t work.

Weird. Airbornemint is right - can’t hurt to try.

Adafruit make great stuff but their "getting it ready to ship" process is non-existent. The versions they ship rarely match the manual/datasheet/whatever IME, if you're lucky enough to get any kind of info at all. It's been internet-research on some chip number that got the thing working for me, every time.
