Hello @saulgoodman. I read over your last three posts and now puzzled at your responses.
FYI DigiKey is a distributor of electronic parts.
There are many other better launching points.
Maybe we should start with what you overall goal is. Then attempt to piece together what the best hardware route should be. Then make a choice. Okay?
Maybe Arduino or Tessel and others might be better choices. I would hope you would consider Espruino. Code development in Javascript using the IDE interpreter is far easier IMHO than going the other routes. That is why I chose it. You may have a different objective.
Maybe it is as easy as selecting the correct flavor of ESP8266 WiFi module. Lets start with that. What version do you have?
This might help:

I've had good luck with the ESP-12
Found a good site to get me started. Digikey... so that's what we have to work with. Right... I'm getting it.
