Expected behavior

Hi, I want to use 2 IR leds to send to 2 different devices that are at different locations, I don't understant the example of IRMP_IRSND_ALLOW_DYNAMIC_PINS.

How I can put the 2 leds in 2 pins of arduino?

Use the current clone pattern known as series connection. Do not forget to reduce the series resistor to get the same current as with 1 LED. And then use just one pin, it will work!

I know that I can use this approach, but i want a more elegant solution.

Call irsnd_init(tIRSNDOutputPin) each time you switch the output pin eg. before sending. I have not tested it, but it should work.
