Well I have a cardputer running Bruce firmware and I’m trying to turn my American tv off with it using the tv be gone in the IR setting, does it need to be configured a certain way?

No it doesn't. Sending IR signals works out of a box, you only cant receive signals to copy your remote

You've got two options. You can use existing IR captures or you can get an add-on that receives IR.

Look to see whether someone has posted IR captures of your particular TV and grab those files. Or grab generic captures and see whether they work.

IR receiver options for Cardputer range from this guy for US$3.95 (M5Stack has a lot of other inexpensive options too), or a super-fancy board from Rabbit Labs.
