Re: A few questions
I can't really tell you about the IR reading values (yet) but wiring-wise, the new beacon schematics are correct. The wiring on the schematic that came with the kit had pins 2 and 3 reversed on the FET. If your circuit is overheating, you might want to check it over more carefully for shorts. There is a good chance there is a short in your soldering. Also check that you don't have the FET reversed and that you correctly made the changes to the wiring.
