GC9A01 Display Driver for MicroPython

This driver is based on devbis' st7789_mpy driver. 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.

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.
