+Once all this is done, you and others can now easily compile different standalone modes by just selecting one of the standalone modes (list in `common/Makefile.hal` or ) , e.g.:
 
+- rename  Makefile.platform.sample -> Makefile.platform
+- edit the "STANDALONE" row inside Makefile.platform.  You need to uncomment it and add your standalone mode name
+
+Makefile.platform.sample
 ```

 Remember only one can be selected at a time for now.

+The final steps is to 
+- force recompilation of all code.  ```make clean```
+- compile ```make -j8```
+- flash your device
+- connect to your device
+- press button long time to trigger ledshow and enter your new standalone mode
+- if connected with usb / fpc ,  you can also see debug statements from your device in standalone mode. Useful for debugging :)
+
+When compiling you will see a header showing what configurations your project compiled with.
+Make sure it says your standalone mode name.

+Happy hacking!
