 ### develop & build
 Beside the c-based code for the Arduino board to read raw data from the board, everything has now been done in the python
-files. The main program is `toplevel.py`, which calls `UI.py` to prompt for input. It is NOT recommended modifying the `ui.py`
+files. The main program is `test.py`, which calls `UI.py` to prompt for input. It is NOT recommended modifying the `ui.py`
 as it is generated from wxFormBuilder from `sealammonia.fbp`, which could be modified if any frontend feature need to change.
 the main program will generate `settings.json` which saves all required parameters needed to calculate and graph and save the
 sensor's values. It also creates a .csv file under `RecordedData` directory to save all recorded+calculated data.  
 `read_arduino.pyw` read raw data from Arduino board and convert it to the correct resistance, which could be plotted out 
 using `serial_plot.pyw`. Note that all .pyw are still Python files and should be correctly opened using any IDE/text edtiors

 ## Issues
-- Currently can only use 5V as input voltage. May need to change the algorithm in `read_arduino.py`. Newer hardware will require 3.3V.
+- Newer hardware will require 3.3V. ~~Currently can only use 5V as input voltage.~~ May need to change the algorithm in `read_arduino.py`. 
 - Should call `writerandomvalues.py` to simulate Arduino data when nothing is connected but user still want to run. Currently just pop up error(fixed)
 - "plot" button is completely disabled, should be enabled whenever is not plotting but is reading data
 - Matplotlib cannot really run in multithread, this might going to be an issue for packing the program into an executable
 - Csv file is only created after you close the UI
