I am an 18 years old mechatronics student and I’m living in the north of Italy. My interests are working on electronics, playing computer and making
instructables for you.
Intro: Laptoprecycling-Bluetooth
Maybe you have seen my instructable over recycling a webcam, otherwise you can view it here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Laptoprecycling-Webcam/ Now it’s time
for the next step, I’m going to recycle the Bluetooth Module.
Materials:
Some solder
Wire
Tools:
Soldering iron
A razorblade
A small screwdriver
A pliers

Step 2: Test Wiring
For the first test you will need an USB cord with striped wires, and an external power supply for the 3.3V, because USB works with 5V. Apply some solder to the solder
pads. The pin out: USB_D- is DATA- who is the white wire of your USB cord, USB_D+ is DATA+, the green wire, GND is ground it get connected to the black wire of your
cord and to the negative connector of the power supply. The last pin is 3V3, the letter V means volt, when it is written between the numbers it can be seen like a dot, so it
means 3.3 Volt. You have to connect it to the positive connector of a 3.3V power supply, two 1.5V batteries in series will do the job too, the red wire of the USB cord is
5V, is not used right now.
If you plug it to your pc the pc should find a new hardware and will try to search and install the driver. It doesn't matter right now if it finds a driver, as long as it sees the
adapter. If it doesn't notice that you connected a hardware, or he gives you the error message that he found a hardware who is probably damaged check your wiring, this
error normally happens if you mix up the data+ and the data- line.

Step 5: Get the right driver
Before you can use it you have to get the right driver for your module. If you have windows vista and above the pc should find the correct driver automatically, you also
don’t need an external software. If you use windows XP and earlier or the pc didn't found the correct driver you have to download it. The easiest way to do that is to
navigate to the website of the manufacture of the laptop where the module is out (in my case ASUS), search in downloads for your model, set the correct OS, download
the Bluetooth driver and install it. If the driver doesn't work correctly or it gives you an error like it only works on ASUS machines or something like that you can try to
navigate to the device manager (My Computer, right-mouse button, properties, hardware, Device manager on XP / Computer, right-mouse button, properties, device
manager on vista and above) There should be a yellow question mark or a Bluetooth symbol with a small yellow question mark. DoubleClick it and navigate to details and
device Instance id. Now simply google what there is written behind the USB\ and you will find the correct driver. Don’t try to install software like driver whiz, because it
mostly bring a lot of spam software to your pc and will not really help to find the driver. If you have still problems you can write it to the comments and I will try to help you.
I don’t know how it works on MacOS and Linux, because I am a happy windows user :-) , but google is a very helpful website or you can post a comment and maybe a
happy Mac or Linux user can help you to solve the problem.

Step 6: Use it
In my case there was a tool for windows XP included in the driver package to connect to your Bluetooth device like cellphones, headsets, mice and keyboards and
send/receive files. In newer versions there is a build in tool, who allows you to do things like that.
Thanks for reading my second Laptop recycling project, more of it will come soon!
