Help watching my Mining Turtles.

I've been struggling finding a tutorial on this so I'll explain what I'm trying to do.
I have two turtles, Hank1 and 2. They use Advanced Turtle Miner.

The Goal is to have them broadcast their progress back to monitor at the home base or at least at mining site.

I'm wanting this program to make sure they are still moving after a restart/I'm curious and and like to see their progress.

Any help is appreciated.

How easy this is depends on whether you want the turtles to receive signals from the home server and respond to them (involves having a parallel function running to make sure the turtles GET those signals), or just periodically send signals to it without prompting (relatively simple).
