Why?
----
I have a bunch of AT89C2051 and AT89C4051 microcontrollers, and wanted
a programmer to use on Linux. I found Easy Downloader, but the Linux
program would not run, or compile. So I wrote my own app in Qt5, and
modified the hardware design to use an AT89S52 for the 'brains'. The
first version uses a 40 pin DIP, since I had some of those collecting
dust. Then I did a smaller version using a TQFP unit, and pretty much
all SMD components.

-----
Linux
-----
Download the source code archive, unpack it and run build.sh in the
console/terminal. You may need to make it executable. When done, 
run ProgCx051. There is also an AppImage if you prefer.

-------------
Windows 10/11
-------------
To use this app, unzip the archive someplace and double-click the
exectuable. 

---------------
KiCad 6 Project
---------------
As usual, I forgot to make note of what KiCad symbols/libraries I
had to add for this project. If you need any help figuring that out,
contact me at JoeElectronics43@outlook.com.

The supplied Gerber files are for JLCPCB.
