– 500mA polyfuse on board
Adafruit explained a little more about the Espruino WiFi:
The Espruino WiFi also comes with an ESP8266 WiFi module, so you can connect to the Internet using Espruino. Warning: if you only use Assembly and think that even embedded C/C++ is for wimps, this device might explode your head.
The Espruino is a tiny computer with a JavaScript interpreter, allowing for instant feedback from whatever device you’re working with. Simply set up your code with the Espruino and send it to the device without having to wait for the board to ‘flash. With the new Espruino WiFi you get the best of Javascript with Internet connectivity.
The Espruino’s fast response time has a lot of advantages. It allows for quick and easy debugging and is a great way to test your project before your big reveal. In addition, you can control the Espruino from almost anything – Windows, Mac OS, Linux, RasPi, Android, anything that can talk to a USB Serial port.
