Questions about Piface Rack

Question

Questions about Piface Rack:

My current equipment:

- Raspberry Pi B+

- Piface 2 (40 pins)

- Piface rack (26 pins)

1) can I use my Piface 2 via Piface Rack (40 pins vs 26 pins)

2) if yes, how to configure SPI jumpers

3) if no, does it existe a Piface Rack 40 pins ?

4) if I use Rack 26 pins, can I use pins number 27 to 40 on Rpi as digital Input/Outut

Thanks

That's because these replace them, extendable, stackable etc, no need for a PI rack. There available from Element14 / Newark / Farnell. basically (Electrically ) the same board but more relays and expandable. there is also a motor version. PiFace – PiFace Relay Plus

I would replace the 40 pin headers with stacking headers (Long ones) and Simpy stack them on each other

What are you planning on attaching to these ??, if hey ae stacked you wont have easy access to the LEDs or Buttons?

Oh, another option is to use a ribbon cable with spaced out plugs on it (Similar to an old HDD cable from an old PC)
