Ryan Malloy 52e8acf214 Fix 3.3V TX margin: R2 470->220 ohm (parameter sweep validated)

At 3.3V VCC the original R2=470 only drives 4.66mA through the
PC817 LED, giving marginal bus pull-down on loaded buses (V_LOW=2.5V
at 1k pull-up). Three parameter sweeps (R2, bus impedance, CTR grade)
identified R2=220 as the fix: LED current doubles to 9.71mA, bus LOW
drops to 0.27V even at 1k pull-up. Validated against PC817A typical
CTR with worst-case bus loading.
