# IRremoteESP8266 Library

This library enables you to **send _and_ receive** infra-red signals on an [ESP8266](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino) or an
[ESP32](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32) using the [Arduino framework](https://www.arduino.cc/) using common 940nm IR LEDs and common IR receiver modules. e.g. TSOP{17,22,24,36,38,44,48}* demodulators etc.

## Library History
This library was originally based on Ken Shirriff's work (https://github.com/shirriff/Arduino-IRremote/)

[Mark Szabo](https://github.com/crankyoldgit/IRremoteESP8266) has updated the IRsend class to work on ESP8266 and [Sebastien Warin](https://github.com/sebastienwarin/IRremoteESP8266) the receiving & decoding part (IRrecv class).

As of v2.0, the library was almost entirely re-written with the ESP8266's resources in mind.
