The WL-WSN Trainer is a portable Wireless Sensor Network testbed using ESP32 modules for real-time study of Wi-Fi communication, routing, and sensor-based applications. It supports up to multi-nodes with self-organizing multi-hop networks and requires no frequent reprogramming. A user-friendly GUI enables easy setup, monitoring, and control for practical WSN experiments. The trainer includes support for Wi-Fi-based communication, sensor interfacing, and routing experiments, enabling realistic hands-on WSN learning and application testing.
