Best board to use for project

Projects General Guidance
1

I only have a Leonardo board for testing this project but wonder which would be best to use.

It will need a wifi shield and the project is to read ir codes which I can do now. Then finally use the system to send the read and stored ir codes back to Control the equipment via an ir diode. after the read process that part can be removed and the board set up purely for the control stage of the project. However the wifi shield and ir tx diode is needed along with sufficiant connections to a ds1809 for control of a volume level cct.
Question finally is which board would be the best to go for.
Any help appreciated
Thanks

One of the esp8266 family. Wemos maybe? small, userfŕiendly pins. Research a bit about the esp i think you'll be happy

I use the ESP32 it has built in WiFi. The ESP32 usually has more SRAM and flash than the ESP8266, but they are both great for WiFi. You just plug them in and away you go. I definitely recommend them both, but would go with ESP32 they cost basically the same and I haven't found any drawbacks compared to the ESP8266.
