I used my PyBoard microcontroller + LCD160CD screen as a name tag at 44CON.
I had to do some research, as I could not find example code to get the text scrolling working. The key to the solution was to set the direction to 2 (-x).
This is the code I put in main.py:

import lcd160cr

def LCDVector(frame_mode, direction, step):
return frame_mode << 15 | direction << 12 | step

def LCDFont(pixel_replication, soft_scroll_flag, transparency_flag, font_number, horizontal_bold_offst, vertical_bold_offst):
return pixel_replication << 8 | soft_scroll_flag << 7 | transparency_flag << 6 | font_number << 4 | horizontal_bold_offst << 2 | vertical_bold_offst
lcd = lcd160cr.LCD160CR('X')
lcd.set_orient(lcd160cr.PORTRAIT)
lcd.set_scroll_buf('Didier NVISO.BE ')
lcd.set_scroll_win(8, 0, 0, 128, 128, LCDVector(0, 2, 4), LCDFont(7, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0), 0x0000, 0xFFFF)
lcd.set_scroll(1)
