This library enables you to send and receive infra-red signals on an ESP8266 using the Arduino framework using common 940nm IR LEDs and common IR receiver modules. e.g. TSOP{17,22,24,36,38,44,48}* etc.
Version 2.4.3 of the library is now available. You can view the Release Notes for all the significant changes.
Usage of the library slight changed at v2.0. You will need to change your usage to work with v2.0 and beyond. You can read more about the changes required on our Upgrade to v2.0 page.

This library was originally based on Ken Shirriff's work (https://github.com/shirriff/Arduino-IRremote/)
Mark Szabo has updated the IRsend class to work on ESP8266 and Sebastien Warin the receiving & decoding part (IRrecv class).
As of v2.0, the library was almost entirely re-written with the ESP8266's resources in mind.
