I was reorganizing parts and found this Sparkfun LCD display.

It has no part 3 markings.

Can you Help me identify this LCD display (3 Pictures attached) ?

…and does any one know where I could locate archive documentation ?

I am trying to teach my Grandson about electronics, etc.

Thanks,…srb

Looks like it might be an early prototype of this

Thanks YellowDog !!,

I think that’s it…slightly different layout, my LCD might have been the earlier version of this same # 8600 given the components on back vs. front but otherwise I believe this is it (rev.2 maybe).

I did not know about the “Retired” pages…I had looked for ‘Archived’ or ‘Discontinued’ products link,

Where (from what page) is that ‘Retired’ link found officially??

Thanks again…

Search for any item then scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Look for the text that says:
