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.

| I'm running NQC on a Linux system. Is there any way to communicate between the computer and the Cybermaster mobile unit using this software? Or are there any other types of software I might consider to do this? Fredrik (25 years ago, 2-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
