It's essentially impossible to align all the 30AWG wires into a service loop without overlapping, so if you actually follow the indicated silkscreen marks you'll end up with overlapping wires that are taller than the extra thin VHB tape. I found it worked better to just skip the service loops (which I don't think were usable anyway due to the tight clearances).

Remove "service loop" silkscreen marks from screen pcb

Service loops weren't really feasible/helpful, so don't recommend them via the silkscreen. Fixes scottbez1#10

Also added testpoints (or could be solder points) for all signals on the top side of the screen PCB. Fixes scottbez1#11
