Is there some way for the turtle to know when it's been emptied?

So I have a mining turtle and I've got it set up so that when it gets full it returns and whats inside is pumped into a chest. But then I have to go down there type "go down 3" then "excavate 15" so is there some way to have it do those automatically after it's been emptied?

shell.run("go down 3"); shell.run ("excavate 15")

This should be in Ask a Pro.

Oh sorry, I'm new.
And I already have that programmed but it to automatically run that after its been unloaded

Edit the excavate program in the ROM to after it's been emptied to go back up.

That's what I'm trying to figure out is how do I tell it to do something after it's been emptied.

Moved to correct forum.
