I'm trying to get a turtle to interact with a PneumatiCraft air compressor so it turns off when it reaches a certain pressure level and to also refuel the compressor. Also, is there a way to program a drone with ComputerCraft? I have programmed before, but this is my first time actually doing more with C based languages, so any and all help will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

You should check if an air compressor has anything that can signal the computer first before you ask for help. Such as redstone.

Otherwise im not too sure as using them as a peripheral.

This is totally possible. Here's a quick and dirty program a wrote a while ago for controlling compressors: http://pastebin.com/kZUfLcE1
It is a little specific to my setup so you'll need to modify it a bit.
(It uses an advanced computer)

As for programming the drone, I believe that isn't possible.
Drones require crafted pieces to work, which balance their power, so programming them with a CC computer would bypass that.


I stand corrected :P/>
This Direwolf20 video shows how you can control a drone with CC:
