- Connects your OpenWSN network to the Internet over a virtual interface (both Windows and Linux).
- Thanks to Python, portable across popular operating systems.
- Shows the internal state (neighbor table, scheduling table, queue, etc.) of each node physically connected to the OpenVisualizer.
- Displays errors reported by motes.
- can run with either physical motes, or emulated motes (for details, see OpenSim)
