Has anyone made one of these sensors yet?  I made one and I can't stop
melting the 7805 IC.  It litteraly catches fire within 5 seconds.  The LEDs
work until the fire.  I know nothing about electronics, but want a couple of
these things real bad.

[The schematic Andrew is referencing is on the LML website under the
"Electrical" link.  Perhaps one of you electronickers out there could
have a look and see if there are any glaring errors.     <Marv>    ]
