2 ideas here

i know pda laptop and other stuff has been talked to death , but this isnt one of those ( i hope)

the first idea is fairly simple , it'd be a handheld minitor tha connects to a computer via rednet
the only thing that you could really change would be the id of the computer/turtle to receive data from
and it would simply display whatever is on the screen of the computer/turtle

not the bigest idea , but somthing useful


the other idea would be the turtle.use(slot) / turtle.use<Up/Down(slot)
yes i know it was semi talked about not long ago , but this isnt some one wanting to use a bucket of water :)/>/>

what i'd like to see is a setup where the turtle would be able to use any item in game , vanilla or otherwise
but, also be able to , receive the string that would be sent to the chat if it was a player

so for example , turtle uses a dowsing rod , it would get what you would if you used it there
or the voltmeter from rp , it would get back the reading of volts .

and b4 any one mentions it i dont mean to code in each and every item individualy
i mean to simply have the turtle call the activate function of the item and to get the raw string that would be printed to chat

very simple but extreamly useful and flexable

First idea seems coded already. Look in peripheral section.
Second is kind of work already. Try .place method.

the second one is partly in the game , but it cant use anything , just the few things that it knows how to use

What version are you using? In 1.4 turtles can use (almost) every item.

I hope what "almost" will be repaired in next version.

I said almost just in case, but I think that at least every vanilla item can be used (but I haven't tried all of them, so I might be wrong).

oh * fail* ok didnt know that tried using tecnic ( the ssp that has the newer turtles ) but yeah i think it may just be a problem with how tecnic installs it , cause it is also getting false when i try to move lol ^^; so yeah , u can ignore this

In 1.4 you have to fuel the turtle or it won't work. You can also disable it in the config, so it doesn't require any fuel (just like before).
