Posted at 2016-12-22 by Fabio978 I just bought a cheap Trust BT 4.0 adapter (Bluetooth Smart Ready) and it works like a charm ( Windows 10 64-bit ) |

Posted at 2016-12-22 by dklinkman I am using a Plugable Technologies USB Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy Micro Adapter purchased on Amazon. Because I'm using Windows 7 I had to use the Zadig application to replace the vendor's Bluetooth radio drivers with generic WinUSB drivers. Works great. |

Posted at 2017-01-04 by @gfwilliams Thanks - I'll update the docs. I think it is only 4.0 that's required. |

I saw it was advised to get a 4.2 dongle (in the Mac howto). Anyway, on my Win8.1 laptop I also cannot pair the Puck. Since I don't want to interfere with my company laptop's drivers and software, I prefer using an extra dongle I can use on my old pc. Does it need to be a 4.2? I don't see those in the stores near me. I think the RaspberryPi3 also has Bt4.0, no? I'm hesitating about buying the RaspberryPi now or a dongle...
