      Fork our minimal, Bazel-based starter project to create a new
      Pigweed project from scratch. The project includes a basic
      blinky LED program that runs on Raspberry Pi Picos and can
      be simulated on your development host.

Pigweed has shipped in millions of devices, including Google's suite of Pixel
devices, Nest thermostats, `satellites`_, and `autonomous aerial drones`_.

Showcase: pw_console
--------------------
:ref:`module-pw_console` is our multi-purpose, pluggable REPL and log viewer.
It's designed to be a complete development and manufacturing solution for
interacting with hardware devices via :ref:`module-pw_rpc` over a
:ref:`module-pw_hdlc` transport. Gone are the days of hacking together a REPL
and log viewer for each new project!
