Summary
The PhyPiDAQ project aims to provide students access to state-of-the-art measurement technology and data acquisition tools. As it is based on standardized protocols and hardware, it can not only be cheaper to set up than similar offers but also gives a great educational introduction in methods of modern science. Additionally, the measuring technology can be run off a power bank, making it portable and allowing great experiments in nature. This project targets students from middle school up to undergraduates at the university level with great matching educational concepts.
This is the general tutorial aming at educators. If you are looking for hardware guides, build instructions or software details, please check out our other repositories.

Übersicht in Deutscher Sprache
Das PhyPiDAQ-Projekt zielt darauf ab, Studierenden und SchülerInnen Zugang zu modernster Messtechnik und Datenerfassung zu geben. Da es auf offenen, standardisierten Protokollen und leicht verfügbarer Hardware basiert, kann es nicht nur kostengünstig eingerichtet werden, sondern bietet auch eine hervorragende pädagogische Einführung in die Messmethoden der modernen Wissenschaft. Die Messtechnik kann mit einer Powerbank betrieben werden, was sie tragbar macht und Experimente auch in freier Natur ermöglicht. PhyPiDAQ richtet sich an SchülerInnen von der Mittelstufe bis hin zu Studierenden auf Universitätsebene.
Diese allgemeine Anleitung richtet sich an Lehrkräfte. Wenn Sie nach Hardware-Beschreibungen, Bauanleitungen oder einer detaillierten Beschreibung der Software suchen, schauen Sie sich bitte unsere anderen Repositories an.

Questions
How big is the Frontplatine PCB?
It measures 99.1 × 99.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Frontplatine use?
38 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Frontplatine KiCad files?
From the PhyPiDAQ/EducatorsGuide repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Verstaerkerplatine/Frontplatine/Frontplatine.kicad_pcb and its schematic Verstaerkerplatine/Frontplatine/Frontplatine.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Frontplatine design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the BSD-2-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
