I was at the hospital the other day and noticed a parasitical pump and wondered if I could use an Espruino to control it. Anyways,I stumbled upon the Bartendro from partyrobotics.com I believe the Bartendro uses the same "brains" as an Arduino and was wondering if replacing the "brains" with an Espruino is worth the hassle and time. Anyways, its not a project that I'm willing to attempt ATM. Its more of a curiosity of how much parts and the pcb will cost if I would to build my own instead of paying the 119$ for an already assembled product. I'm thinking the bulk of the 119$ price tag is due to research and development.
@Gordon You're right, its not a tiny surface mount device
@DrAzzy looks like a D SMD case Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor; however, I'm not sure if there is another D SMD style case cap that I could confuse with what is required to use.
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.

I uploaded the brd and sch files.
