Is there a way to have a turtle force on without clicking it.

I am making my ME network in tekkit auto programs my turtles by placeing them next to disk drives, but the turtle are alway in the off pos

Pretty much the only way to do this would be by having a computer/turtle adjacent to the turtle that you place. You could then wrap it as a peripheral and use the function peripheral_obj.turnOn() (at least I think it's that).

Other than that nope, I do not believe this is possible.

Wrapping isn't strictly required, of course. One can instead use peripheral.call("front", "turnOn") (changing "front" to the side the computer to turn on is on), like any other peripheral method.

Have a long line of turtles with that in their startup :P/>
