[request] additional information on re-programming #2

I would be really interested in coding an (humble) alternative firmware for the Kompas, but don't know much of electronics. Could you add information to the README regarding the process of re-programming the chip? Namely, how to flash it with new code: software and tools involved, etc.

Thanks!

I do not own this device, but I think that you should look at the chip that it uses and find instructions for its firmware. Usually, you need to short-circuit a couple of contacts to put the chip into firmware mode and send the firmware via UART from Arduino IDE.
