Hello everyone !

I post today my mining turtle, it dig 1*2 or 1*1 tunnel and collect ores !

This programs need Apertune Science Turtle Upgrades : http://www.computerc...hp?/topic/2942-

Features :
- Detect ores
- Return to the chest and leave items
- Security mod to prevent loosing a turtle

How that works ?
You put an IDetecting mining turtle on your mine, put un chest one block down and back and run the program !

The code is here : http://pastebin.com/30kKhbsy

Beta code : http://pastebin.com/DUjfyPnH it's completely commented but I haven't tested it yet.

Please give me feedback, if you want to participate to the coding stuff you can add me on skype (pseudo : Viproz)



Future update :
- Http support to localization of turtles
- Startup program to prevent errors with server reboots

I love it, but would you mind putting in a variable length of the tunnel, or is this waaaaay too complicated?
I'm new to this forum so excuse me if i ask stupid questions.

This can be achieved by using a variable and "io.read()".
