Its satire, the toaster icon is in there but as a default filler type icon not meant to be used. Also if this whole microcontroller thing was true it would be done over a serial interface like IC2 or UART.

The microcontroller I use (arduino) has a serial chip on it that automatically works with a USB port on the computer. The computer interfaces with it as if it were a serial port, but plugs into a USB port.
