Hello there, I would like to show you 4 programs for a mining turtle to help you setup and semi-automate setting IC2 Miner.
You need simple Mining Turtle filled with:
- Drawbridge(3), Miner(2), Chute(1), Geothermal Generator(12)
- IC2 Cable (any, I suggest copper or glass fibre cable, 5), Liquiduct(6), Torch(3), Any solid building material (no glass or sand etc. 4)
- Ender Tank with a steady supply of lava(1), Redstone reacting Lamp(can be vanilla one, 1), Ender Chest prepared for a input of items (1), empty slot
- empty slot, items needed for Miner to operate, OV/OC Scanner, Mining/Diamond Drill, Mining Pipes(64)
I suggest setting turtle on a y=66 because of the mining pipes restriction. Also, turtle will put Miner in exacly the same position that he was.
When you pick a plase for your turtle, use "Clear" command. It'll clear all needed terrain for the whole setup. If it needs to break a block, it'll do that and then it'll deposit that thing in a ender chest.
After clearing that space, use "Miner" command. It'll prepare all needed items for a Miner to work: 3 drawbridges sets, liquiducts and cables. Be sure that Ender Chest is constantly cleared by your sorting system and that your Ender Tank is constantly filled with lava.
The last phase of "Miner" program is checking if Miner is working. Once every minute it'll check the ammount of pipes in Miner, register that number and check if it changed sinse the last time or if there's any pipe left. If any of these two happens, turtle will emit redstone signal to the lamp that it'll set above itselt and print corresponding command ("No pipes left" or "Miner blocked or ended")
If you'll log out when Miner is working or you unstuck your Miner, I suggest using "Continue" program. It'll break that lamp (if there's any) and restart checking pipes.
When your Miner ended,use "Destruct" program. It'll pack that whole contraption created before and wait for the next command.

That's all I've created. Below I give you code for that thing.
ClearMinerContinueDestructBeware that it's my first program and it has many flaws (if you stand in a way of turtle, it'll break everything), but it's working if not disturbed!
