 ===== Overview ===== ===== Overview =====
 Interface converters provide a means of communication from the main computer to peripheral microcontrollers. Interface converters are responsible for translating USB communications into UART, SPI, and any other serial communication protocol required. Interface converters provide a means of communication from the main computer to peripheral microcontrollers.
