GC9A01A or round LCD

[celebriums]

Greetings to everyone from Istanbul,

Will there be driver support for these round LCDs?

I believe these LCDs are quite popular and look very elegant in products.

These products would provide great prestige for the Flowcode family.

Hi celebrium!

Ben ( I suppose) have recently made a component for this display in FC10 I have bougth a couble and made a small test with an Esp32, working very nice

Because it is round, you have to Think a little different when you programming, I can send you my little testprogram if you want?

Hello Jorgen
Warm greetings to you and the entire Flowcode family from Istanbul.

First of all, thank you for your message. I bought this product from AliExpress.
GC9A01A - Honestly, it is a very stylish product.
After browsing the internet a bit, I saw that some users prefer this product over the ST7789V. It is quite successful considering its price.
The main point is that this screen is round, and in fact, there are many libraries on GitHub and Arduino for this.

I would love to try your Flowcode component. Is the same component compatible with FC9 as well?

Hello Sadik,

The GC9A01A component's not available in Flowcode 9 I'm afraid. However v10 is free to use if you're using one of the free chip types and so I would highly recommend using v10 instead.

Please see here for the free features included with v10.

Flowcode already supports this display chip. The Gc9A01A is 240 x 240 pixels. you just use the central round portion. i will try to attach an example that you can use.
