A pair of questions

Hi!
I just started making things with computercraft, and it's too awesome.

I'm learning a lot of things, but there are a few that i don't know how to do.

1-How can i get the absolute coordenates from Minecraft, for example the forward block of a turtle?

2- Is there a way for identifying a block? I mean, how do a turtle now the block up itself is a diamond ore?

Sure, rig up a GPS.

There's this - and yes, before you ask, it's intentionally limited.

OMG, Thanks!
Sadly, my GPS "server" shut down whenever I quit the game, ¿I can initialize this in some form whre de game starts?

If you use a startup program to set the program running, it'll restart automatically.

To detect a diamond ORE, you need to somehow get a block of diamond ore in your inventory. turtle.comparing a block to a regular diamond won't work. There is another method: give it a block of stone (NOT cobble) and let it look for something that ISN'T a stone.

P.S. Another advice to a novice turtle-miner: don't forget about GRAVEL!
