List of older character LCDs

Sometimes you find a character LCD from an older equipment or buy one off a surplus store. You tried the LCD tutorial and it didn’t work. You tried everything and it turned out that your older LCD is not up to the spec of more recent LCDs, which most of us use. To save you time, I am compiling a list of older character LCDs that people have been having problems with so you can check yours, wherever you got it, against this list to see if yours is “old”. My opinion, go get a new one on ebay. 🙂
