# Moral Indigo Electronic Thumb
## Description
Industrial 1-Wire to I2C Node (DS28E18) with left-side I2C header J3 (3V3,GND,SDA,SCL) and right-side trunk pass-through (VPLUS,DQ,GND) incl. 33Ω series + TVS on DQ and 4.7k I2C pull-ups, plus test pads (DQ,3V3,GND).

- **Design Notes:** Orientation/placement intent:
- Left side (I2C group): place U1 (SHT85) and J3 (I2C sensor header) together on the left edge.
- Place IC1 (DS28E18) adjacent to the I2C group, with short I2C_SCL/I2C_SDA routing.
- Right side (1-Wire trunk): place J1 as Trunk OUT on the right edge; place J2 as Trunk IN on the left edge.
- Maintain 1-Wire pass-through on TRUNK_DQ between J2 PIN2 and J1 PIN2, with series protection R1 between TRUNK_DQ and IC1 IO (DQ_PROTECTED).
