The ChipKit that you bought has 26 pins on the GPIO (female) Header, while your RaspPi2 has 40 pins on the GPIO (male) Header. You need to Buy two items. One to convert 40 pins to 26 pins. Another to take the female Cable and "turn" into Male, so that your Female Header on your ChipKit can connect.

First Item:

Downgrade GPIO Ribbon Cable for Pi A+/B+/Pi 2 - 40p to 26p

Manufacturer: ADAFRUIT INDUSTRIES

Newark Part No.: 28Y5154

Manufacturer Part No 1986

Second Item:

Pi Rack for 26pin RaspPi

Manufacturer: PiFace

Newark Part # 97W2503

Manufacturer part no. Pi Rack

__________

Be Careful with placement of Ribbon Cable/RaspPi2/Pi Rack/ChipKit. MAKE SURE that Pin 1 on all male/female Headers are all oriented the Same Way.

Looking at the Lettering printed on your Boards, the Headers will be in the Upper-Left

BTW (By The Way) I believe the P- Rack is MD (Manufacturer Discontinued), So Buy it while you can.

Thx for your contribution. The Pi-Face-SC13561-Shim (Manu-Order Code-Part #) will allow DO to use a Straight 40pin-to-40pin Ribbon Cable INSTEAD of item #1 from my list.

However I think that the Shim Kit comes w/ ONLY ONE dual-20pin Right -Angle Male Header. DO will have to buy an additional dual-20pin Male Header, Trim it down to 26pin. Solder both male headers to the Shim PCB.

I have an old RaspPi w/ 26pin GPIO Header (circa 2013) so I just ordered a Pi-rack for 26pin RaspPi b/f they run-out
