You can probably do anything you want with the [minimally documented] -raw
option for nqc.  You can use it to send arbitrary packets to the RCX or
Cybermaster.  For example, to query variable 0, you could do this:

nqc -c -raw 120000

Of course, you have to hand code the appropriate bytecodes.  Kekoa's site
(http://graphics.stanford.edu/~kekoa/rcx/) has a good list of them.

Kekoa also has his own stand-alone utility for sending commands to the
RCX.  You may want to consider using that instead (the port to Linux is
trivial).  Alternatively, you could build whatever custom software you
want using the RCX communication classes from the NQC source distribution.

(...) Thanks for your suggestions. Say, just what is variable 0? The first variable assigned? I should probably try to read some more about the internals of the RCX/Cybermaster, I suppose. Fredrik (26 years ago, 4-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
