IrBlaster
============
The :class:`IrBlaster` provides access to public methods by which your device
can act as a remote and could be used to control your TV, AC, Music Player,
Projectors, Set top box or anything that can be controlled by a remote.
.. note::
- On Android your app needs the TRANSMIT_IR permission which allows an
application to use the device's IR transmitter, If available.
Simple Examples
---------------
To get transmit an IR sequence::
>>> from plyer import irblaster
>>> irblaster.transmit(frequency, pattern, mode)
To get frequencies::
>>> irblaster.frequencies
To check if IrBlaster exists::
>>> irblaster.exists()
True/False
Supported Platforms
-------------------
Android

Convert a pattern from period counts to microseconds.

Transmit an IR sequence.
:parameters:
`frequency`: int
Carrier frequency for the IR transmission.
`pattern`: list[int]
Burst pair pattern to transmit.
`mode`: str, defaults to 'period'
Specifies the format of the pattern values.
Can be 'period' or 'microseconds'.
