Sending NEC IR signals makes LED strip blink I'm trying to make my ESP8266 (running NodeMCU meaning Arduino code gets compiled on it). I followed a guide and now I can read the IR codes from my remote using my Arduino UNO, and then send them to the LED strip. So far sending it actually works, but it blinks REALLY fast.

Some part of me tells me it's trying to send it twice or the radio frequency is wrong. For TVs and so on, it doesn't really matter, as you can't turn on and off a TV instantly. You can with this LED strip though. This is how I send my NEC signal to the strip:

irsend.sendNEC(0xFF02FD, 433);


433 is the frequency (433 kHz), as I read that's the most common frequency these LED strips work at. The entire code I used can be found here. Do you think I have a frequency issue? I have tried a lot of different frequencies and they all seem to do the same thing.

Also, when I try to send the exact same NEC signal to my receiver, I get two different results. It is only being sent one time as well. Here is what I receive:

EDIT: I forgot to mention: 0xFF02FD is the signal power/on/off button. If I change the 0xFF02FD to anything else (like 0xFF18E7 to make it yellow), the LED strip will just blink.
32 kHz seems to be the winner. Now all my codes work! Damn, if I only had read that ONE SITE that showed it haha.
