Hello Russell -- The cable to the BCR provides power to BlueM. The Bluetooth module which Steve designed is attached to the serial port.
Steve designed BlueM so it can also accept power from an unused serial port pin. This requires to open the laptop and solder an internal wire to the serial port that can provide the +5V to power the BlueM. Eventually I will do that so there's no wire going to BCR. I think it could also be connected to a battery. -- John.
