I've been messing with my peripheral and I'm using redpower with it now. The problem I have is that the turtles that a redpower deployer places are off and need to be started by a player. Is there a way to make computers do this?

If your turtle is next to a computer, you can use peripheral.call("side", "turnOn"), I'm not exactly sure what it was, but you can get a table of the functions you can call with peripheral.wrap().

Turtles can turn on other turtles, too.
