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.

Espruino and Arduino run under quite different premises... if you already have all in one environment - the Arduino - environment, you may go with that.
I'd though consider taking a closer look what you *really+ have to port over, because Espruino way more powerful and not only from computing power assuming you talk Arduino Uno or a like - which is 8 bit vs 32 Espruino - but also from high-level programming and programming style: Espruino gives you the event-drivenness, where as with Arduino you are stuck in the execution loop. Agreed, the loop is faster as long as you do not over-load it... but when you get there, it is a hard limit.
Espruino has tons of modules that most likely cover what have to cover, such as the Arduino libs do. When it though comes to do the higher level programming, you will be glad have event-driven-ness available. Furthermore - while connected - you have a much more powerful debugging compared to Arduino, because JavaScript is available to you to do anything to your code in the robot: inspect, give commands, do step-by-step debugging... etc. When you have some experience in JavaScript programming using the event model, you may be surprised how quickly you will advance in your project.
