Hello,

I tried without success to get a definite answer to whether it is possible or not to connect the Sparkfun CC3000 WiFi SHEILD:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12071 ... 1434261194

to an Arduino MEGA 2560 so that they will be stacked together, using stackable headers only, between:

pin group: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5
pin group: Rx, Tx, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
pin group: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, GND, AREF, SDA, SCL
pin group: Vin, GND, GND, 5V, 3.3V, RESET, IOREF, and the unused pin next to the IOREF.



During my search I noticed some people said that the pins:
MISO
MOSI
SS
SCK

are located elsewhere in the MEGA 2560 (compared to their location in the Arduino UNO).
in the MEGA 2560:

MISO is 50
MOSI is 51
SCK is 52
SS is 53

While in the UNO:

MISO is 12
MOSI is 11
SCK is 13
SS is 10

Does this mean that I cannot stack Sparkfun CC3000 over MEGA 2560 without manually connecting
wires between the WiFi Module, and pins 50, 51, 52, 53 of the MEGA?

Thanks in Advance!

Correct. You can use Google to find out what the pinouts of the Arduinos are.
