FreeStation Training Materials, 2016

The FreeStation initiative uses open source hardware, open source software and open source 3-D printing technology to build and deploy reliable environmental data loggers with the lowest cost and easiest DIY build possible. These are designed to make reliable, detailed and local environmental data more accessible in areas that may have little local financial and technical capacity for the collection of such data. A variety of stations and sensors are available. The FreeStation Nano includes one of soil moisture, rainfall, temperature and humidity or rainfall sensors. The FreeStation Micro includes for temperature, humidity, solar radiation and rainfall. The FreeStation Meso adds wind speed and wind direction. The FreeStation Macro adds wind driven rainfall, fog and/or soil moisture at 2 depths. This dataset contains a comprehensive collection of training materials on how to construct and use FreeStation Micro automatic weather station translated into French as part of the POP project, for use by local students and practitioners in Burkina Faso and other French-speaking countries. The training materials were translated into French from the English versions provided by the Freestation initiative and used in a workshop run as part of the POP project to train students and practitioners.

FreeStation计划（FreeStation Initiative）采用开源硬件、开源软件及开源3D打印技术，以最低成本、最简便的DIY搭建方式，打造并部署可靠的环境数据记录器。该设备旨在为当地财力与技术能力有限、难以获取此类环境数据的地区，提供可靠、细致的本地化环境数据支持。目前已推出多款不同型号的监测站与传感器：FreeStation Nano可搭载土壤湿度、降雨量、温湿度中的任意一种传感器，或独立降雨传感器；FreeStation Micro可配备温度、湿度、太阳辐射与降雨量传感器；FreeStation Meso在此基础上新增风速与风向监测功能；FreeStation Macro则进一步搭载风力驱动降雨、雾情监测传感器，以及两层深度的土壤湿度监测模块。本数据集收录了全套培训材料，内容涵盖FreeStation Micro自动气象站的搭建与使用方法。该材料作为POP项目的一部分由英文原版译为法语，供布基纳法索及其他法语国家的当地学生与从业者使用。这批培训材料由FreeStation计划提供的英文版本译制为法语，并被应用于POP项目框架下举办的实操培训班，用于培训当地学生与行业从业者。
