This may be a little bit unrelated, but do you know the format of the serial console that the "printf" statements go to?
Is it as simple as "cat /dev/ttyS0"? (though I'm wondering what happens to all the bytes when the robot serial interface is not outputting anything... are they just null characters?)
Also, how does this compare to the JIFI program in here:

Anyway, It would be nice to have a GUInterface... I might write a GTK one if I have some free time... (actually I might try using wxWidgets...I heard it's good)

Check out the space simulator called
Vega Strike, modelled after the space simulator games Elite and Wing Commander. It's Open Source too!
If you have ever played
Wing Commander, or especially
Privateer, and had a feeling of nostalga derived from the you will enjoy these two Vega Strike mods:
Privateer Gemini Gold and
Privateer Remake!
I'm working on adding multiplayer support this year...
