GUI-based AT89C2051 Programmer for LPT Parallel Port
This project is a graphical user interface (GUI) application for programming AT89C2051 microcontrollers via an LPT parallel port. It simplifies the entire workflow with one-click operations, making it ideal for hobbyists and professionals working with legacy hardware. The program automatically converts Intel HEX files to binary (.bin), provides real-time logging of the process, and supports a Resend function for quick re-flashing. With its intuitive design and efficient keyboard shortcuts, this tool streamlines the programming of your AT89C2051 chips on a modern 64-bit Windows environment.

Features

  • GUI-based LPT Port Control: Offers a user-friendly graphical interface for controlling the AT89C2051 programmer via the LPT parallel port, eliminating the need for command-line tools.
  • Simple .HEX to .BIN Conversion: Automatically converts Intel HEX files to raw binary files before programming, making the process seamless for users.
  • One-Click Chip Erase and Program: Simplifies the workflow with a single "BURN" button that handles the entire process, from erasing the chip to programming the new data.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: Provides efficient keyboard shortcuts (B for Burn, R for Resend, X for Exit) for faster, repetitive programming tasks.
  • Intuitive File Selection: Users can easily select files by clicking on the list or by typing a file number. A smart pop-up dialog prompts for a file number if no file is selected when using the shortcut, enhancing usability.
  • Resend Last Programmed Data: The "RESEND" feature allows for quick reprogramming of the same data without needing to re-select the file, ideal for testing and debugging.
  • Detailed Status Log: A real-time, scrollable log window displays a step-by-step record of the programming process, including file conversion and data transfer.
  • Windows 64-bit Compatibility: Designed to work on 64-bit Windows operating systems using the inpoutx64.dll library.
