This pull request adds the ability to send arbitrary infrared codes that are encoded in the Pronto format

There's still a small bug in ir.c which required me to hardcode the carrier frequency. As soon as I use the one that's stored in ir_buffer, I get a duty cycle that's not 50% anymore. I couldn't find why the calculated pulse-width changed.

This is not the most efficient implementation, but I think a lot of people might be interested in it nevertheless. Things that should be improved:

  • send infrared code as one "packet" by first sending the length of the infrared code and then the code at once (this should be a trivial change)
  • transmit the infrared code by using a timer interrupt called every pulse_width microseconds instead of toggling the IR-LED output in a loop

Feel free to fork this PR and improve the things I listed above.

The Pronto format is documented, e.g., here: http://www.remotecentral.com/features/irdisp1.htm
