If you are completely new to OpenWSN, and you are using Windows, read this page first. It will walk you through all the steps to install OpenWSN and explore a number of key features.
In particular you will:

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

You now have:
At any time you can make sure you are running the latest code by right-clicking on each folder, and choosing Git Pull....

But, not everyone has hardware, not always the same hardware, etc. So to make things nice and easy, we'll start by simulation. Oh, and the simulated code behaves exactly the same as the real code, so what you see now is what you'll get with real hardware.
Before we can start running a simulation, we need to compile the firmware as a Python extension. This is all explained in the OpenSim page if you want to know what's going on.
