- Installation of the Silicon Labs USB-UART Drivers
- Connecting the WICED Sense Kit to the USB Cable
- Creating a SDK Project for the WICED Sense Kit

WICED Sense Recovery:
- Connect the USB Cable to the Kit
- Locate the COM Port enumerated by your PC
The Recovery Process uses either the COM35 or COM36 ports in our case.
In the SDK Make Target, the recover port is COM35 and we edit the WICED Sense Target as shown below:
Before using the SDK to Recover, we need to place the Kit in Recovery Mode by pressing the sequence of Rest and Boot Buttons as follows:
Now we click the Make Target Recovery button and we should see the following:
WICED Sense Modification for Debug:
- After programming the WICED Sense Kit with your application you will need to remove the resistor highlighted below to add debugging using a TeraTerm Window.
- Caution: Remember to Re-Install the resistor to reprogram the device.
WICED Sense Code Walk-Thru:
Procedure for running the WICED Sense TAG on USB Power:
- Remove the USB cable after you have successfully programmed the Tag
- Leaving the Battery cover off in this process, press the battery into the battery socket until you see the RED Led turn on
3. While holding the battery with your fingers making the battery connection, insert the USB Cable in the Tag
4. Release your finger from the battery, letting the battery drop out of the socket and you are now running the Tag from the USB Power
Introduction to WICED Sensors
The following STMicro Sensors are used:
Please refer to the STMicro Web site for details on Sensor Data Sheets.
The iOS App receives notifications in this format:
struct
{
/// Bit mask of sensor data
/// Bit 0: When set, accelerometer included X (2 signed bytes), Y (2 signed bytes) and Z (2 signed bytes).
/// Bit 1: When set, gyro included X (2 signed bytes), Y (2 signed bytes) and Z (2 signed bytes).
/// Bit 2: When set, humidity included (2 unsigned bytes in percentage).
/// Bit 3: When set, magnetometer included X (2 signed bytes), Y (2 signed bytes) and Z (2 signed bytes).
/// Bit 4: When set, pressure included (2 bytes, pressure in mBar * 10)
/// Bit 5: When set, temperature included (2 unsigned bytes, temperature in C * 10).
UINT8 included_sensor_data;
/// sensor data.
/// Data included in the order of the bits set.
/// Max length is 20 bytes, may be smaller when data for only some sensors is included
/// in the notification.
/// Notifications sent out when enabled
/// Notifications for Sensor Notification characteristic value (handle 0x2A)
UINT8 sensor_data[];
};

Thank you.

I got it to compile and download. 
In case others are struggling, here is the target name that I specified in the make target. Note that wiced_sense is the name of the subdirectory that I gave for the SDK. The path is
Path: ./WICED-Smart-SDK/Apps/wiced_sense
Target name: wiced_sense-BCM920737TAG_Q32 download
Yes, you are spamming... just kidding.
I don't know the steps that you have taken or if you made any changes, but you can recover the device to the original code. We are posting that recovery process this morning - So be patient.
It involves removing the board from the enclosure, a sequence of button presses and typing a Recover Target in the Make Target Window - But again, be patient, as we are working on this now.
Regarding the USB supplied power to the TAG:
There is a "hack" to getting the Tag to run with USB Power:
- Remove the USB cable after you have successfully programmed the Tag
- Leaving the Battery cover off in this process, press the battery into the battery socket until you see the RED Led turn on.
- While holding the battery with your fingers making the battery connection, insert the USB Cable in the Tag
- Release your finger from the battery, letting the battery drop out of the socket and you are now running the Tag from the USB Power
Thanks

Thanks JT, yes, the procedure worked!
For others, take some care when you remove the board as the screws are tiny and the pushers from the shell will likely fall out (they are easy to replace, but the slots are asymmetrical so they only go in 1 way)
Also - for others - I depleted my battery in a surprisingly short period of time, so perhaps don't leave it in the tag when it isn't in use
Sorry you are having problems.
Videos should work - Maybe a browser issue.
If you build the project you should be able to download it to the kit.
If not, you may want to recover and do the Make Target again:
