I am new to the Dialog IOT Sensor Kit. The hardware seems very good - form factor is great for a wearable as compared to the TI Sensortag. However, getting started is not easy at all. Before I give up I thought I would come here and ask some basic questions.

1. Why is it that the documentation and the software require multiple requests with "approvals". And that those of us with gmail addresses will be frowned upon. If this is meant to excite lots of people and is supposed to compete with the TI Sensortag (on one of the videos, the Principal FAE kept saying SensorTag to refer to Dialog kit :-) then the docs and sw need to be freely available.

2. Can I program using the MAC (or Linux) or do I have to have a Windows machine ? What version of Windows 7 or 8 or 10 or it does not matter ?

3. What is needed to program the sensor ? From what I can glean I need SmartSnippets and the SDK 5.0.3. But which version of SmartSnippets ?

4. Why is the kit called 12 DOF when there is a 6-axis IMU and a 3-axis Magnetometer ? How much memory is available to store data if the phone is not connected ? Where do I look to see how this memory can be increased ?

5. I am not even sure if this is the right Forum as there was no drop down for the IOT Sensor kit.

thx
