• Note(1) - If you came looking for information about this terrible IC driver, because there's practically no information online, took me a while to figure this out, here's what you should know:

• You can't use Memory Access Control (36h) register to rotate displays.
• There's only one reliably working Memory Access Control (36h) setting - 0x10.
• You cannot reliably use window mode to burst multiple pixels.
• You should send only single pixel, repeated 4 times for the rectangle GC9D01 50x160 and 3 times for the round GC9D01 160x160 display, otherwise the pixel will not be displayed, regardless how much you lower the SPI rate, yep.
• Screen rotation is software based, recalculate the single pixel coordinates to implement the orientation rotation.
• Specific, module oriented driver for each from both displays is required.
