The difference is this is all done with consent. Employees consent to have their income, SSN, etc. given to the government, its part of having a job in this country.
If we want our board certified by regulatory agencies we choose to give them some information, but that is information on us as a company not our customers private information.
Even customs are something the customer agrees to, maybe not consciously, but agreeing to have something shipped via a reputable shipping company (not a guy shoving parts down his pants and sneaking into the country), means abiding by your countries import laws.
I don’t think Arduino has added external interrupts for the 32U4 to the IDE yet so you are going to have to code them in C or find someone who’s done it already.
The board should have a male connector, I’ve double checked our stock and everything has a male connector. If you’ve gotten a board with a female connector contact us at techsupportsparkfuncom and we’ll get that fixed for you.
Its not so much a matter of them moving pins as it is that this is an entirely different microcontroller with different features, using different pins. Check out the datasheet for the ATMega32U4 for more info on the chips features.
Page 4 of the datasheet does list output at 700mA, but if what you looking for specifically is not in the datasheet you will need to contact the manufacture directly. If you have any other questions please email techsupport at sparkfun dot com.
