Unable to send RAW IR code to an AC

I tried to send a code to my AC but have no output to my LED. I'm using an Arduino Uno, the IRremote.h library was modified with #define RAWBUF 800
The hardware is well connected, with IR LED on pin 3 and with a 220 ohm resistor on GND, tested with a modified Blink sketch.
Using last IRremote library 3.3.0 and tested the code from this link (IR Remote control of Air Conditioner - Can't get it to work), still have no output to IR LED and also noticed the TX LED from Uno always stays ON.

Please help, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thank you!

thx for the edit.

the library has evolved. Now there is an IrSender object.

check: Arduino-IRremote/examples/SendRawDemo at master · Arduino-IRremote/Arduino-IRremote · GitHub

Notice the begin() call in the setup()

    IrSender.begin(IR_SEND_PIN, ENABLE_LED_FEEDBACK); // Specify send pin and enable feedback LED at default feedback LED pin

Thank you for the answer. It helped me to solve the problem by installing an older library 3.0.0. It was easier for me.
Have a nice day!

That's a solution indeed (not future proof but if it works)
