I was going to automate basic quarry system (dont know wireless to make bigger ones) but is there a way to check the inventory constantly to see if there is an item, and if there is nothing that appears for say, 10 seconds, it moves on?
how might i do this?
Thanks

While there are methods of doing it with Turtles, the easiest way (by far!) is to use OpenPeripheral, it allows computers/turtles to do a range of things with a range of blocks, including interacting with the inventory of anything with an inventory.

Documentation is your friend. There is a whole
website dedicated to showing you what functions OpenPeripheral provides and how to use them. Take a look at the
Vanilla chest examples, anything with an inventory has the same functionality.
