dazzler22 said:ok I have found your problem, just got home and wired mine up,
you have the pins the wrong way round! I have the same bluetooth as you and the pin out is as follows:-
1 - Red
2 - Green
3 - Yellow
4 -Black
If you swap your green and yellow it should be ok, Bear in mind though that I do have mine through a usb hub.
Working nicly with my magic mouse and bt keyboard, all i need to do now is get sleep working (I have the tickbox for wake from sleep). any ideas how to get sleep working are appreciated.....
hope this helps!
And big respect to macaddictcr for posting up in the first place
Cheers

So you're saying green from the module goes with white from the cable and yellow from the module goes with green from the cable? Do I understand you correctly?
kmare said:you want simple rectifier diodes: 1N4001 being the most common

diodes have a unique property that the voltage drop across them is constant; for 1N4001 the drop is ~0.7, so two of these connected together means 2x0.7v = 1.4V; 5V is definitely too high for these modules
for wiring, I also did the yellow to green cross over between the apple BT wires and the PC USB wires
Wake from sleep with magic mouse is now working for me (before my old dongle wake only was reliable with a mighty mouse)
Forward voltage drop (VF) at (if): 1.6V
.kmare said:If you are using 1N4001 the drop is going to be ~0.7V; I would recommend putting 2xdiodes.
I suspect 1.6V is the max drop at high currents
Why not put the module inside your PC case?
