Question

Can I use the inexpensive female/male or female/female breadboard jumper cables to temporarily wire sensors to the GPIO pins?

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, Commented Oct 25, 2012 at 8:26
@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, Commented Oct 27, 2012 at 2:40

Yes.

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