Why should this not be bepossible? I can't understand why this question get's upvotes... It's like asking "Can I use a Ethernet-Cable to connect LAN?" — Mose, Oct 25 '12 at 08:26
@Mose - the purpose of this site, and the very purpose of the Pi itself, is to encourage learning. Unfortunately, I was not born with innate knowledge of header pin spacing (and I'd guess neither were the upvoters! :). — Brian Low, Oct 27 '12 at 02:40

Yes.

This is what I am using, and what is recommended by Adafruit and supplied with SkPangs Raspberry Pi Starter Kits.
