I just started using ComputerCraft and this forum won't let me search for the error I'm getting. It is as follows

"Can't locate GPS"

I'm trying to use a mining script from this forum and everythings fine till I go to start it. I looked up what GPS was but all I found was how to set them up. From what I understand, it's just to locate your turtles. Also this member never said anything about needing a GPS system set up.

So in short do I need a GPS system set up to use a simple OreQuarry script?

If so what do I NEED to do it get it to work?

Thanks for any help!

Without a link to the quarry that you are using, it's hard to know if it requires GPS. Some will work with GPS if it's there, and fall back to asking for the user to Coordinates. From the fault message one has to assume that the quarry program you are attempting to use requires a GPS to be set up.

In the Tutorials there is a thread on GPS, along with code available to set one up.
