+LEM LA 55-P and LA 100-P current sensors are selected for this design, as it is the only sensor available from LEM with an open aperture and PC pins that can measure +/-55A and +/-150A, respectively. 
 The open aperture was a requirement as it allows for the range to be easily scaled down just by adding turns to the primary. 
-The LA 55-P is a closed loop compensated hall effect transducer that has an accuracy of +/-0.65% and linearity of <0.15% which is quite good compared to other sensors from LEM. 
-It has an excellent bandwidth of 200khz and a low impedance current output that is inherently more immune to noise than a high impedance voltage output.

 The mainboard firmware is fairly simple, yet very specialized for the application. Before changing *anything* in the code, make sure you understand how it works. Practically every line of the code is optimized for speed and efficiency! Using a multi-channel logic analyzer / oscilloscope is absolutely required when updating the mainboard firmware to validate code timing.
 
 **Do not blindly change the code.**

+## Flashing Firmware to Mainboards with Alternative STM32F745ZG Processors
+
+The firmware project provided in this repository is configured for a mainboard populated with a STM32F**765**ZG processor. This project configuration is incompatible with the alternative STM32F**745**ZG chip that is populated on some mainboard PCBs. Creating a new project targeting the alternative STM32F**745**ZG processor and loading in the provided source files is required. Here's how that's done.
+
+### Create a new STM32 Project
+1. Within STM32CubeIDE create a new `STM32 project` targeting the `STM32F745ZG` device with the following settings:
+    - Targeted Language: `C`
+    - Targeted Binary Type: `Executable`
+    - Targeted Project Type: `STM32Cube`
+
+### Replace Source Code
+2. Open the file folder location of the newly created project 
+3. Navigate to the `\Core\` directory and replace the `\Src` & `\Inc` folders with the ones provided in the AMDS repository
+4. Navigate to the `\Drivers\STM32F7xx_HAL_Driver` directory and replace the `\Src` & `\Inc` folders with the ones provided in the AMDS repository
+5. Within STM32CubeIDE refresh & build the project, no errors should be present
+
+### Increase Compiler Optimization
+6. In the `Project Explorer` pane on the left, right-click on the STM32Cube Project you created, and click on Properties
+7. Expand `C/C++ Build` and click `Settings`
+8. Find and click on `MCU GCC Compiler` > `Optimization`
+9. Select the dropdown next for `Optimization Level` and change to `Optimize more (-O2)`
+10. Select `Apply and Close`
+
+### Flash Firmware to Mainboard
+11. Select `Debug Configurations` under the `Run` menu at the top
+12. Select the `Debugger` tab in the pop-up window
+13. Change the `Frequency (kHz)` setting from `Auto` to `140`
+14. Select `Apply` 
+
+You are now ready to connect & flash the firmware to the STM32F**745**ZG processor equiped Mainboard!
