Better SDK support

The SDK hasn't been touched since 2 years and is pretty barebone becasue there are very few data available.
As you just put out the Karoo 3 can you revisit the SDK?

I would like to have access to information that if I have to extrapolate by myself will require futile additional computation and so even less battery life, Achilles' heel of the Karoo lineup.

Data I would like to access are:

• route files (read only)
• average power (the field already displayed, just give us access to the data)
• accelerometer, gyros & magnetometer
• internal (device) and external (air) temperature
• power balance, phase and stance (sit or on pedal)

I think there is a lot of potential untapped on the Karoo OS and there are features missing but requested. Let's 3rd party devs give a go!

  Great idea. I would love to be able to see cycling dynamics data, such as power phase and standing/sitting time.

  There's another thread on that. 
  https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/community/posts/25940221488539-Enable-SDK-for-Karoo-3
  
  In general. With Karoo 3 they've disabled SDK so you can't do even simple things with it. 
  Also official reply in that thread is not very positive for community.

  no, that thread is about a different topic. in the other thread people are complaining that there ist no sdk at all for k3. in reality most there just want di2 support, whose unavailability is shimanos fault. and hh did not "disable" SDK, they justvä didn't develop (or publish) one.

  this thread is about making the sdk (which exists for k1 and k2) more powerful.

  I think that's the same thing. You are right that most people are complaining about Di2 support but that support is made also with SDK.

  I want basically probably something that you want. Working SDK for developing my own stuff. I think currently they killed SDK - at least in the current form.

  Until HH release or develop an SDK for K3 it is effectively disabled. There is no other way to describe it.

  Disabling would imply that there is something to disable in the first place and in addition that enabling it is an easy and quick operations. 

  Both is wrong in this case. But that is a different topic for a different discussion.

  No, @Adrian. Here we discuss that the existing SDK(s) should have more features and that is a completely different discussion. Di2 support is already possible with the existing SDK, you just need an older unit to make it happen.

  I would love to see custom data screens
