How would one make it so that you could give your turtle instructions form a computer that is a bit of a ways a way from the turtle. Would it be possible to make it so that everyhign that is displayed on your turtles "console" be transmitted onto the "console" of the computer that is controlling it. Thanks.

Using rednet and modems this is all possible.

help rednet

Also I suggest checking out the tutorials section and not only taking my interactive tutorial but reading the few basic tutorials that are available.

When i do rednet.open(left) it says no such program and when i do it in lua prompt it just gives me errors.

Turtles have their modems only on their Right side. For computers the modem can be placed anywhere you want, but the side has to be the one you are opening, so if the modem is on the top of the computer it should be rednet.open(top). That is a command that should be done in the lua prompt.

rednet.open("top")
rednet.open("right")

the quotes are important

i cant place the modems on the computers

You have to sneak to place the modem, hold shift when you place it.

You can try my remote controlled turtle software. Look for it in my Program Library thread />

Try this to open the modem:
Lua
Rednet.open('right')

You have to run it using the lua prompt, else it won't work.
