Excavator MkIII (controlled with MArmOS)

Description
Small Grid Excavator with arm controlled by MArmOS
Also use Automatic LCDs 2 for storage display
Additional Mod required: Small Advanced Rotor, to save the space and weight of arm

How to operate
1. Find a place to dig
2. Stop your vehicle and handbrake with 1, better also lift/lock with 8
3. Switch to toolbar page 2, then active arm control system with 6
4. Press 2 to view the arm camera, now control the arm with WASD Q E Space C and your mouse
5. Use 9 to select Drill Tools and DIG

To retract the arm, you need to move the arm to a higher place first, or just press 4 to auto move to a preset location
Then press 5 to retract the arm to the top of vehicle
Remember to turn off the arm control system before driving, otherwise the arm will also move with your input

PS: The LCD will tell you how much ore stored in containers. If fully loaded, the drill will store too much ore and become too heavy to lift

PPS: You can also control the arm while remote controlling the vehicle, but the toolbar is not set, you have to do it yourself
If you need to rearrange the toolbar, here is the argument of program block of MArmOS
on Page 2 of cockpit
4: -MT 4 0 6 0 -30 0, this move the arm to the preset location
5: -GH, retract the arm
