Just started checking out Computer Craft and first off...amazing!

So I made myself a mining turtle and told it excavate 10. It starts digging its little 10x10 hole but when it mines iron...it disappears. It's not in the turtles inventory and it doesn't deposit it into the chest. It breaks the block but any drop disappears.

It doesn't seem to have issues with anything else. It's getting copper, Apatite, and the RedPower2 gems it's run into so far. But for some reason iron just vanishes.

Any ideas on what I should check. It's most odd.

Thanks
Ryan

I would help, but I have no experience in turtles.

Please don't post unnecessary stuff. If you don't know how, don't comment.
Try clicking the empty slot (if there is one)?
Do you have a texture pack?

If you made it with a RP gem pick instead of diamond, that may be the cause; someone had that problem on IRC last night and cloudy singled that out as the cause in their case.

Noodle - Yes I was using a texture pack but I turned it off when trying to figure out what was happening.

GopherAtl - You may have hit it on the head. I did use a RedPower2 gem pick axe instead of a diamond one. I'll try it with diamond and see if that fixes it.

Now I just have to figure out how to make the turtle stop dumping the fuel into the chest.....but that's going to take some time to learn how to code. I haven't written code since Visual Basic. #Rusty

Yup, it was the RP2 pick axe. I made a new turtle with a diamond pick axe and it mined and collected the iron. Thanks for the help

-I like turtles-

[rckymtnrfc]

I'm going to hijack my own thread...lol. I went into the turtle interface and typed 'edit excavate' but I don't see any code. Is that intentional? I wanted to see how it was written so I could tweak it.

[GopherAtl]

The path isn't used by edit, you were creating a new file in the current directory. Cd to rom/programs first, or "edit rom/programs/excavate"

[rckymtnrfc]

Thanks again!

[rckymtnrfc]

So, if I cd in rom/programs and I 'edit excavate' it creates a new file (it's blank). When I ls this folder I see the program edit but I do not see the program excavate (I do see that when I ls the root). If I type edit rom/programs/excavate (when in root), it's blank, as a new file.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I did open the excavate program in Notepad++ earlier today (I pulled it out of the mod zip file) and I think I see how I want to make it stop dumping the fuel slot. Just can't seem to open the program via the turtles interface.

[rckymtnrfc]

Nevermind, I realized I should be editing this on a computer and not the turtle.

It's in rom/programs/turtle/ anyway.
