Can confirm this is the same for the Leonardo.
To receive on the board you will need to use PCINT pins (see (dubdubdubdot) adafruit (dot) com/blog/2012/06/03/arduino-leonardo-pinout-reference/)
I swapped pin 6 in the example for pin 8 with the hack shown below.
Can a mod please change the title of this sticky to include the Leonardo? I’ve already changed the wiki to point Leonardo users this way. Also if you could modify this post to include the link as I can’t post it as it appears it’s too spamy sigh
