If you're using iOS 5.1, there is nothing that can be done. Apple screwed up the braille driver, so certain braille devices, namely those from HIMS, do not workt with it. Best advice I can give in this case is to email Apple. I'm quite disappointed that they have not fixed this issue, as they were made aware of it less than 48 hours after the release of iOS 5.1.

Thank you for your help, that is rubbish. do you know if the next IOS update will have fixed this problem. ios 5.1 is rubbish to my opinion. thank you

Hi. I should hope so. It worked fine before iOS 5.1, so I don't see why they can't fix it. They're certainly aware of the issue, whether they'll act on it remains to be seen. They did address several braille issues between iOS 4 and 5, so hopefully they'll remain committed to braille users and fix what they have broken.
