The independant terminal seems to have packages that the terminal in the IDE does not. Almost like they are running in different VM’s. When I start the IDE terminal I see: `bash: /home/simulations/public_sim_ws/devel/setup.bash: No such file or directory`. No ROS commands work - I.E. rostopic list: ```auto user:~$ rostopic list bash: rostopic: command not found ``` This works just fine in the independent terminal. They also have different hostnames and don’t see the same files. ---

Hi @orionrobots , You are right, we don’t recommend to use IDE terminals, because they are not running the ROS environment prepared for the web shells or the simulation. I am taking it as a suggestion for our next improvements. Thanks for posting, Please, let me know if I can help you with anything else. Regards ---

One thing that would be handy would be a reference to the robot. IE - although I can use rostopic list to figure out that /scan is the laser scanner, the specs are not obvious. The training robot had a scanner with a ranges array of 0-719, which had a 180 degree sweep. I think that this robot has a scanner with ranges 0-359, which may be a 360 degree sweep, but not sure, and not sure if it’s correct to assume that 0 is forward and 90 is left or right with respect to the robot. This is **ROS Basics Real Robot Project**. This kind of reference info (along with API reference material for rospy) would definitely help here. ---

The following post might help. > [@How to find the front position of a LaserScan](https://get-help.robotigniteacademy.com/t/how-to-find-the-front-position-of-a-laserscan/10255): > > Hi there, I am facing an issue with basic rosject, everything is running fine but is there a way to find laserscan values, I mean how can I find whether the front is 0 or 90 and right? Thanks ---
