Note that I have now tested the digital thermometer in Austin in a moonrat on an Arduino R4 with the digital thermometer after cutting the trace from the analog temperature out on the heater board with an Xacto knife, as shown in the photo below.

The signal pin of the digial thermometer can be connected to the "TempOut" net in KiCad (which previously was from the voltage out of the TMP36), powered by 3.3 V and connected to GND (all of this done using the screw terminals). This will work with the Dallas One Wire protocol for reading the digital temperature BUT as defined by Adarfuit a 4.7 kOhm pull up resistor is required. I have added this in via the female headers at the top of the shield as shown in the photo below by connecting A0 to V3.3. However, declaring the A0 pin INPUT_PULLUP is NOT sufficient to solve this problem.

I propose that this resistor be added to the new, proposed heater board as a simple solution.
