transmitting doesn't work on esp8266

[devkral]

Problem:

in ir_tx/__init__.py line 10-15 we have no working way for esp8266.

How would it be possible to use an esp8266 as an ir remote?

[devkral]

I solved the problem by replacing pyb in the clauses with machine. Not sure however if it would work on pyboard

[devkral]

still not working. Wondering if it would be better to use machine.bitstream because it is very portable

[devkral]

I think bitstream is the only solution (if even possible), because when checking out the timer/pwm of esp8266 I found out it is limited to 1000Hz, factor 10 too slow.

So if flipping pins can't be done faster in software, there is no way.
