I'm surprised that you found a regulator that could handle the 80 volt
input. it's got to get rather hot at that voltage, if it won't just
blow up.

I'd get a radio shack wall wart supply, and just wire that in, using
the 5 volt regulator... You only need 8 to 12 volts... a 9 volt supply
would be just fine... Assuming a 7805 type of regulator, 1 to 1.5 amps
is all the regulator will handle, but I do not know the requirements
of the Gecko...
