how to use hx-53 (IR Transmitter Infrared Sensor Module) with ESP32?
The HX-53 look like a IR LED and a current limiting resistor on a small PCB.

It also has a LED and a resistor in series for indication when the invisible IR diode is on or off.

So you can change the resistor to a lower value to match the 3,3 volt output from the ESP32.

Resistor values:

221 = 220 ohm   = IR LED
102 = 1000 ohm  = SMD indicator LED


So replace the 220 ohm with something near 75 ohm.
