I want to control mining turtles using a wireless pocket computer. I want to be able to open the pocket computer and say "tunnel 50" and all of the turtles will start digging, instead of having to manually do it. Any help will be appreciated :)/>

At first you want to have a program running on your pocket computer:
Should be something like this:
rednet.open("back", 50) -- 50 is the channel and can be replaced by any number.
while true do
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
write(Command: ")
input = read()
rednet.broadcast(input)
end
This is the basic code I use most of the time.
Turtle:
rednet.open("left", 50) -- Left is the side of the modem and 50 is the channel were using
while true do
id, msg = rednet.receive()
print(msg) -- This will print the message you have send from the pocket computer onto the turtle screen
if msg == "Tunnel" then -- If you send the message "Tunnel" the turtle will do this(You want to write your Tunnel code into here)
for i=20 do
turtle.dig()
turtle.digUp()
turtle.forward()
elseif msg == "torch" then
turtle.select(1)
turtle.place()
end
end
I havent tried it out but it should work like this.
I hope I could help you somehow.
Just ask if you need some more help
