Powering BTM-182 bluetooth module arduino

Hi guys

Im having an issue with my BTM-182 bluetooth module.

I cant seem to power it up through the VCC of my arduino mini pro 3v3.

Its running off of batteries.

I can however connect just fine when arduino is powered through the FTDI basic 3v3.

If i connect with it plugged into the FTDI and then turn the batteries on and disconnect the FTDI

it stays connected for roughly thirty seconds before it drops connection

I looked at VCC with an oscope and right before it disconnects there is a bunch of noise.

Is this something i could correct with a capacitor?

i have changed baud rates and some other things but nothing is helping.

any ideas?

So i took some current readings and the batteries i was using did have enough current to power it all.

Sometimes it really is the simple thingsā€¦
