rIRremote (Arduino) is based on IRremote open source project: https://github.com/z3t0/Arduino-IRremote
rIRremoteESP8266 (ESP8266) is based on IRremoteESP8266 open source project: https://github.com/markszabo/IRremoteESP8266
These libraries allow receiving IR signals with a IR receiver module and transmitting signals with an IR led.
The two libraries are mostly identical.
Receiving signals:
Sending signals:
On ESP8266 the Enable method includes another parameter for the pin number.
On Arduino the pin is set in the library:
Arduino Mega 9 and 3 on other Arduino models.
The transmitting led should be connected with a 100 ohm resistor.
I'm not sure why, but in my tests the transmitting led range was very short (a few centimeters).
