MeshCore Update vs CallSign Lane County

MeshCore Update is a hardware utility app for updating supported MeshCore repeater devices. The app supports two firmware update methods: • Bluetooth DFU for supported nRF52-based MeshCore devices • Wi-Fi OTA for supported ESP32-based MeshCore devices You can select a supported hardware target, check official MeshCore firmware releases, download matching firmware packages, keep firmware files locally on your iPhone, and start the update flow from one place. For Bluetooth DFU devices, the app scans for compatible OTA / DFU devices and uploads the selected firmware package over Bluetooth. For ESP32 devices, the app connects to the device’s MeshCore OTA Wi-Fi access point and uploads the selected firmware using the device’s local OTA update interface. No login or account is required. Full firmware update testing requires supported MeshCore hardware. Without hardware, you can still browse supported targets, check official releases, download firmware files, and manage the local firmware repository.

Sirens just went past. This tells you what they were. CallSign shows every active fire and EMS call in Lane County the moment dispatch sends it: where it is on a map, which units are assigned, and the live radio traffic you can listen to while your phone is locked. WHAT IT DOES - A live call board that updates continuously as calls are dispatched and cleared - Map and list views, whichever way you prefer to read a busy night - Live dispatch audio, with background playback and lock-screen controls - Call detail: the units assigned, their status changes, and a timeline of the response - A searchable archive of past calls, with the dispatch audio attached - Set a home location and sort the board by what is closest to you - Optional alerts for the call types and areas you choose HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT KNOWS Most dispatch apps hide what they cannot determine. This one shows you. A location that resolves only to an intersection, a milepost or a block is drawn as an area, never as a confident pin on the wrong house. Calls that cannot be placed appear in their own list with the raw dispatch address, instead of quietly vanishing. If the feed is delayed or degraded, the app says so and tells you how old the information is. An empty board reads "No active calls, feed healthy", because a quiet shift and a broken app should never look the same. A dispatch code the app does not recognise is shown exactly as sent, not guessed at. A call that has been cleared says so, with the time it closed. PRIVACY No account, no sign-in, no advertising. A home location you set stays on the device. Distances are worked out on the phone, and the coordinate is never sent to us. What does leave the phone: Google Analytics records which features get used, such as that audio started or that a call was opened. Anything you type into the contact form or archive search is sent to us to answer it or run the query. If you turn alerts on, a delivery token and the categories you picked are stored so the alerts can reach you. The full account, in plain language, is at callsignlane.com/privacy. ABOUT THE DATA Incident information comes from publicly available Lane County computer-aided dispatch data. Audio comes from a radio receiver operated by BarnardHQ monitoring unencrypted VHF fire dispatch, the same broadcasts any scanner in the county can receive. Information may be delayed, incomplete, or updated as a call develops. Dispatch data reflects what was known when the call was created, which is not always what responders find on arrival. IMPORTANT CallSign is unofficial. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any fire department, emergency medical service, law enforcement agency, or public safety answering point. It is not an emergency service, and must never be used to request help or to make decisions during an emergency. If you have an emergency, call 911. WHO IT IS FOR Anyone who has heard sirens and wondered. Neighbors watching a wildfire or a road closure. Journalists and researchers who need the record. People who keep a scanner running and would rather have it in their pocket. Also in any browser at callsignlane.com. Built in Eugene by BarnardHQ.
