LT5 Info.., and 1228331 stuff in general.

[Ken Kelly]

A one or two watt resistor would make no sense. This is a
very low voltage and low current circuit, so an 1/8th watt
resistor should work. All it does is load the sensor so it's
output is reduced. The lower the resistor value, the less
output you will see from the sensor.
