Screen Mirrored issue

[mTyguy]

mirror=True does not reverse mirror for me. I am using 10.3inch EPD and IT8951. here is my config file

#CONFIG_VERSION=1
[main]
#waveshare display type use HD for IT8951 displays
display_type = HD
#required vcom value for IT8951 screens
vcom = -1.50
#maximum refresh between total screen clear for HD displays
max_refresh = 4
#logging output level
log_level = WARNING
#display splash screen (True or False)
splash = True
#rotation of EPD display
#(cable bottom: 0; cable left: -90; cable right: 90; cable top: 180)
rotation = 0
#mirror screen output - useful if output to screen appears backwards'
mirror=True

Have also tried:
mirror = True

I'm probably missing something obvious. Any suggestions?

Wow. This feature is utterly broken. Thanks for catching this issue. It should be an easy fix, but will take some diving into the libraries to get there.

We've archived this form of PaperPi and moved all the development to https://github.com/txoof/PaperPi

I'll move the issue over there and start working on a fix.

Good news: this can be fixed by adding a mirror option to the epdlib.Screen class

I'll be traveling for work this week, so it might not be until the weekend/next week until I can get to this.

Aaand I'm disorganized. Turns out there's already a solution for this; it just needs to be tested and merged in to epdlib and then integrated into the main branch here.

[mTyguy]

that is great news. everything else is working great!

I've got a working version of PaperPi that supports mirroring now. Can you please test it and see if it works for you? You should just be able to install right over the existing install. Your existing config files will be preserved.

Use this installer to get the test branch:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/txoof/PaperPi/i70_mirror/install/remote_install.sh)"

@txoof
ran the command and the mirroring issue is fixed
thank you!

[txoof]

Good news!

I'll do some more tests at my end and then roll the changes into the main branch.
