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'm not sure, but I doubt Adafruit's example would be doing bad things to the 595. They're usually quite good about that - if you used maybe
1kresistors instead then the current drawn would be tiny and would definitely be fine though.Maybe others might be some help here - but Adafruit is a actually pretty good source for these kind of tutorials I think. Also there are loads of resources for Arduino if you search, and converting the software (at least in these cases) for Espruino is trivial.
