# Mission Control 3 Tools

> The Mission Control 3 tools (Serial Terminal, I2C, I3C, SPI, GPIO, Memory Programmer and more) and what each one is for.

Mission Control 3 opens each tool in its own tab. Start from the home screen, choose a tool, and connect it to an adapter, a probe or a simulated device.

| Tool | Use it to |
| ---- | --------- |
| [Serial Terminal](/software/mission-control/tools/serial-terminal/) | Talk to UART devices and serial consoles |
| [I2C](/software/mission-control/tools/i2c/) | Scan an I2C bus and read and write I2C devices |
| [I3C](/software/mission-control/tools/i3c/) | Initialize an I3C bus, assign addresses, and run transfers and CCCs (Supernova) |
| [SPI](/software/mission-control/tools/spi/) | Run SPI transfers on any of the four chip selects |
| [GPIO](/software/mission-control/tools/gpio/) | Configure pins as inputs or outputs and watch interrupts |
| [Memory Programmer](/software/mission-control/tools/memory-programmer/) | Read, write, erase and verify EEPROMs |
| [MCU Programmer](/software/mission-control/tools/mcu-programmer/) | Flash, verify and erase a microcontroller through the Binho Atira (desktop app) |
| [MCU Debugger](/software/mission-control/tools/mcu-debugger/) | Halt, step and set breakpoints in a microcontroller's program through the Binho Atira (desktop app) |
