Seeking Feedback -- Would You Be interested in Roadtesting a Bluetooth®︎5-capable Dev Board?

I am planning on running a roadtest on the following rapid development board for battery-optimized Bluetooth® 5 solutions with the MAX32666 Arm® Cortex®-M4 processor with FPU. The board also has a 6-axis accelerometer/gyro, RGB indicator LED, and pushbutton.

If you have the time, I'd appreciate you voting in the poll below. It helps me gauge interest and the number of kits needed.

Here is some documentation on the board:

I used several similar boards from Maxim (ADI). They are good but Maxim MCUs are not easiest to develop on. Some their FTHR boards have unique peripherals like microphone, audio codec, flash memory, advanced ADC, and so on. Often they contains tons of other interesting chips from Maxim (ADI). MAX32666FTHR has IMU, but it's main feature is BLE directly driven from maxim MCU, I think. On some older FTHR board, BLE is achieved by external modules.

It is the same board which you gave to randomly selected winners of IO-Link quiz. Gough Lui and dang74 wrote about it very interesting blogs (which both are in scope of RoadTest review):

Surprise Delivery: Maxim Integrated/ADI MAX32666FTHR Application Platform Unboxing

The MAX32666FTHR and My Introduction to Bluetooth

I did not win it, but I have some other similar FTHR boards. Here are some my projects and blogs in which I used Maxim FTHR boards:

MAX78000FTHR: Blog #14: Gesture Controlled Pacman

MAX32620FTHR: Blog #7: Debugging Maxim’s Firmware Framework Crash

MAX32655FTHR: Mini Solar Powered Wireless Temperature Sensor

Depending on free time, I am interesting in RoadTesting MAX32666FTHR or other FTHRs which I do not have yet.
