How to activate wired modems with a turtle

[AlrikOfValt]

Hi there,

I'm trying to set up a fully automatic, turtle maintained chest network using networking cables and wired modems (in block form). There's a very useful feature in which items can be moved between any two chests connected to the same network.

To connect a chest, it needs to be placed next to a wired modem, and the modem needs to be activated. Currently the only way I've found to do this is to right click the modem, which then turns the inner square red and gives the message, "Peripheral 'minecraft:chest_2' connected to network.




The problem: I can't find any way to automate this process. A turtle can place down a chest, the cable, and the modem, but I can't find a way to automate activating the modem without a player needing to be involved. Any help would be appreciated!

With https://github.com/cc-tweaked/CC-Tweaked/pull/1305 merged, you might be able to add modems as a block that the turtle can interact with and then it might be able to use a modem to activate it.
