Notes:

Spoiler

*Turtle will move without digging unless you "Move and Dig", this is mainly so that when using it in your base, you won't break your stuff.
**Turtle will dig without moving, basically just to remove blocks (maybe to place a different one, I don't know.)
***To the best of my ability.

I should fix refuelling…

OK, I changed some things to be a tad bit more compatible with the new PDA's introduced in 1.6 :)/>

This starts from line 31 to the end:

  sleep(1)
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1, 1)

if pocket then --also added by Aus4000 for PDA's
rednet.open("back")

Sorry if that's an obvious question, but what's the use of RC turtles?

It's a fun way to get used to the turtle API. Also, me and my friends have been known to turn them into battlebots.

I was wondering, (quite new so if this is an obvious or stupid question please forgive me :D/>), is there some way to look through a "Turtle's Eye View"?

Nah, it would be very cool if it was possible :/

Ok thanks.

Wooooo!
Say hello to 1.0b
It's been a while but I finally got around to updating this project!
Enjoy finally being able to refuel.
Also added ability for turtle to talk back to the computer.
Thanks a bunch Aus4000 for your smaller PDA UI layout. (Please use the code tag next time though :P/>)
Might actually put some more time into this now. :P/>

Okay so after a bit of messing around with 1.0b, and some minor code changes, there is a small problem.
During the first 10 seconds or so, the turtle is quite slow to respond (almost a second delay), however after the 10 seconds it seems to be almost-instant. Don't know if this is just my computer or an actual bug. :S

EDIT: Seems to have something to do with the new refuel function :(/>. Whenever I leave and re-enter a computer, it goes slow until I refuel, then it runs fast again. Will release a "c" version when I figure out how to fix it :/
