Generate manufacturer specific IR signal durations to use with Tessel's IR module

ir-codes
==============

Generates signal buffers for different infrared device manufacturers. Designed to be used with Tessel's `ir-attx4` module. The signals generated are buffers with 16-bit words representing on and off durations of the LED. Positive numbers for on durations and negative numbers for off durations.

Loosely based off of @shirriff's [Arduino-IRRemote](https://github.com/shirriff/Arduino-IRremote) library. 

Contributions
==============
Contributions needed! In order to create and test IR codes, we need developers with different kinds of IR devices to add that functionality. 

Check out [this Tessel forum post](https://forums.tessel.io/t/ir-example-usage-docs/150/2?u=jon) for guidance on how to figure out a manufacturer's IR codes.

Installation
===============

`npm install ir-codes`

Example
===============

To get a Sony IR code to send to Tessel:

```.js
var ir = require('ir-codes');

var code = ir.generate('sony', 0xA50)
```
