a computer running Windows. This page is written with Windows 7 Professional.

Download OpenWSN

OpenWSN is a collection of repositories hosted on GitHub. We will download and use the following:

https://github.com/openwsn-berkeley/openwsn-fw holds the firmware source code which runs on the (possibly emulated) motes
https://github.com/openwsn-berkeley/openwsn-sw holds the software source code which runs on your computer
https://github.com/openwsn-berkeley/coap is a Python module which implements CoAP

Before you can go on, you need to install a Git client. Any client will do, but we will use tortoisegit.

Once you've installed it, it will integrate nicely with your Windows explorer.

We will download these repositories side-by-side in an openwsn/ directory in your desktop using Git.
