After configuring udev as explained in https://github.com/SOLARMA/nxt-control-mmf/issues/5#issuecomment-392959978 command nxt_test can be run as non-root user.

Notice that nxt_test was only attempted using the USB link (not Bluetooth)

Let us now try with python nxt_beep.py

(.nxt-venv) pi@rpi3gm26:~/github/SOLARMA/nxt-control-mmf $ python nxt_beep.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "nxt_beep.py", line 17, in <module>
    brick = sock.connect()
  File "/home/pi/.nxt-venv/src/nxt-python/nxt/bluesock.py", line 39, in connect
    sock = bluetooth.BluetoothSocket(bluetooth.RFCOMM)
  File "/home/pi/.nxt-venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/bluetooth/bluez.py", line 155, in __init__
    _sock = _bt.btsocket (proto)

Command hcitool scan correctly identifies the NXT device

(.nxt-venv) pi@rpi3gm26:~/github/SOLARMA/nxt-control-mmf $ hcitool scan

On the other hand, it looks like the distribution running on rpi3gm26 does not find the rfcomm kernel module

(.nxt-venv) pi@rpi3gm26:~/github/SOLARMA/nxt-control-mmf $ rfcomm 
Can't open RFCOMM control socket: Protocol not supported
(.nxt-venv) pi@rpi3gm26:~/github/SOLARMA/nxt-control-mmf $ sudo modprobe rfcomm
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:557 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.4.50-v7+/modules.dep.bin'

Notice that the Raspbian distribution installed on rpi3gm26 is TODO (used for the 3.5 LCD display)
