# GC9A01 Display Driver for MicroPython



  



This driver is based on [devbis' st7789_mpy driver.](https://github.com/devbis/st7789_mpy)

I modified the original driver for one of my projects to add:

- Display Rotation.

- Scrolling

- Writing text using bitmaps converted from True Type fonts

- Drawing text using 8 and 16 bit wide bitmap fonts

- Drawing text using Hershey vector fonts

- Drawing JPG's, including a SLOW mode to draw jpg's larger than available ram

  using the TJpgDec - Tiny JPEG Decompressor R0.01d. from

  http://elm-chan.org/fsw/tjpgd/00index.html

Included are 12 bitmap fonts derived from classic pc text mode fonts, 26 Hershey vector fonts and several example programs for different devices. The driver supports 240x240 displays.

## Documentation

Documentation can be found in the docs directory and at https://russhughes.github.io/gc9a01_mpy/

## Pre-compiled firmware files

The firmware directory contains pre-compiled firmware for various devices with the gc9a01 C driver and frozen python font files. See the README.md file in the fonts folder for more information on the font files.
