+# starlink-grpc-tools Core Module
+
+This project packages up the `starlink_grpc` module from the [starlink-grpc-tools](https://github.com/sparky8512/starlink-grpc-tools) project and exports it as an installable package for use by other projects. It is not needed to install this project in order to use the scripts in starlink-grpc-tools, as those have their own copy of `starlink_grpc.py`.
+
+`starlink_grpc.py` is the only part of the scripts in starlink-grpc-tools that is designed to have a stable enough interface to be directly callable from other projects without having to go through a clunky command line interface. It provides the low(er) level core functionality available via the [gRPC](https://grpc.io/) service implemented on the Starlink user terminal.
+
+# Installation
+
+The most recently published version of this project can be installed by itself using pip:
+```shell script
+pip install starlink-grpc-core
+```
+However, it is really meant to be installed as a dependency by other projects.
+
+# Usage
+
+The installation process places the `starlink_grpc.py` module in the top-level of your Python lib directory or virtual environment, so it can be used simply by doing:
+```python
+import starlink_grpc
+```
+and then calling whatever functions you need. For details, see the doc strings in `starlink_grpc.py`.
+
+# Examples
+
+For example usage, see calling scripts in the [starlink-grpc-tools](https://github.com/sparky8512/starlink-grpc-tools) project, most of which are hopelessly convoluted, but some of which show simple usage of the `starlink_grpc` functions.
