We were having similar issues, turns out I made a bad assumption after looking at a picture. Initially we had the 5v signal running through the red wire into the center pin (+5, which would make sense...but no). You need the 5v signal from pins 5,6,7 or 8 to run into your white, inside, signal (SIG) pin, and also the black, outside, GND, pin to run to your ground.

Hope that helps,
