I thought that only unscramble() was written in C :oops: No, I didn't make that clear, sorry. In most cases I'm doubtful of the merits of going to lengths to decipher someone else's code if it has to be done at disassembly level. Provide a decent programmer with a definition of the problem to be so...

If an attacker can access your hardware he has access to the scrambled code and the key, and has hardware with firmware containing an unscramble() function. So I'm struggling to understand how it is secure. Peter, The scrambled code, or the key would not have to be hidden. I could give both to you ...

Hi all, This question has been raised in various forms, the last occurrence might probably be this: http://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2842 In short, I would like to hide certain critical portions of my code. It seems to me that there are 3 options. 1. With the cross-compiler, one can ...

I think it's much better to rotate the display in hardware -- most LCD driver chips have a number of register for controlling the orientation and scrolling of the image. Check the datasheet for your display. This has the advantage of being practically free in terms of CPU cycles. Good point, thanks...

Code like my writer module https://github.com/peterhinch/micropython-samples/commit/c56753fde0477863cc01352574a8b31edd68534b could easily be adapted for upside down and 90 degree text, This is exactly what I am doing now, but this implies that one has to have 4 sets for each font, or the font has t...

I understand that the aspect ratio might be a problem, and this is why I mentioned a display upside down. In that case, the text, lines etc. could be re-drawn without having to re-calculate anything.

Hi all, I was wondering, whether it is possible to rotate the framebuffer. Given that the micropython board has an accelerometer, I think it is only natural to ask, whether the content of a display can automatically be adjusted, if I turn the microcontroller upside down. Transforming the drawing pri...

Python modules are in many ways similar to classes. Assume font1.py and font2.py use my approach. The following will work: import font1, font2 h1 = font1.height() h2= font2.height() Indeed. I totally overlooked this. :oops: The key technical problem is this. Bitmapped fonts comprise substantial amo...

The aim here is to save RAM. If this isn't an issue you can, of course, just copy the driver to the filesystem on your target and execute it from there. There might be other reasons for compiling the code. E.g., if you don't want to make it readable. But this is, perhaps, more like a question: can ...

I was wondering, how much memory overhead a dictionary adds... That's an interesting technique: I didn't realise convert could do that. How are you dealing with the issue of alignment? I am not sure I see what you mean: if it is the vertical alignment of fonts (i.e., the baseline of characters), th...
