Title: Linkbook turtle redstone activation
I am busy with an automated Linkbook system and wanted to have a turtle break the receptable when he receives a redstone signal.
Is this possible?

Of course! Take a look at the Redstone API and the turtle API on the wiki!

Like engineer said look into redstone api and turtle api.

You could do something along the lines of:


If redstone.getInput("back") == true then
  turtle.dig()
end

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't the turtle still use turtle.suck and remove the book from the stand instead of destroying it?
