Alright, I've managed to get LIRC to work on a Pi 3, but not on a zero w running raspbian lite.
I have the infrared codes I want to send (e.g 0x40BF or 0x8877) and I'm wondering if there's another way to send the codes to an IR led using python. I've heard of pigpio, but I'm not quite sure how to approach that.
How can I send the IR codes I have to an infrared LED using python and not using LIRC?
