Not finding brick

[letsgo00]

I cannot get this to work with any of my lego nxt bricks. Uding nxt-python version 2.2.2 (also tried 2.1.0) Getting this error:

Host: None Name: NXT2 Strict: True
USB: True BT: True Fantom: False FUSB: False FBT: False
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "message_test.py", line 9, in <module>
    b = nxt.locator.find_one_brick(name="NXT2", debug=True)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nxt\locator.py", line 137, in find_one_brick
    raise BrickNotFoundError
nxt.locator.BrickNotFoundError

Hey, I think I had a similar problem and I got it to work after searching around, so I compiled some useful info that could help :

• Installation : https://github.com/Eelviny/nxt-python/wiki/Installation

For Bluetooth connection:

• Download https://github.com/ev3dev/pybluez and go to its directory
• sudo python setup.py install
• If error like that (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21597536/pybluez-installation-in-linux/21597642#21597642), download this required package : sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev and try again
• Check this guide to connect to your Mindstorm more rapidly : https://github.com/Eelviny/nxt-python/wiki/FAQ
• Test the connection with this:

  
  import nxt.bluesock # Make sure you remember this!
  b = nxt.bluesock.BlueSock('00:16:53:0E:7E:DE').connect() #replace the string with the one you got earlier
  from nxt.motor import *

b.play_tone_and_wait(440.0, 100) # 440Hz is Concert A and 100ms for duration. Basically, make a beep noise to check connection
