I started work on getting the arduino IR Blaster code working on esp8266
Will prob be a couple weeks before I get it totally working.

It compiles though with the arduino api i worked on, haven't tried running it yet....

Did you ever get this tested? also I wonder if you could provide a brief description on how to get the environment up an running/get the code compiled

Since ESP8266 has the PWM pins how about an encoder and decoder script on ESP8266 itself. I have used Arduino IRremote library standalone it works perfect. Tried interfacing directly with ESP's UART and Arduinos IRremote UART and Still a sucess. But the real sucess would be making it work with out external MCU. Trying to understad the protocol and and how the IRremote works..

Not real PWM pins, so that may be an issue, not sure, depends what you are trying to do.... PWM is done in software.
