Example

In this page you will find an example of how to use Asimovo Local

We are going to use in this example the public project "Universal Robots Simulation"

1. First of all you have to start your Asimovo Local Client, open a terminal and execute:

cd ~/asimovo
./asimovo.sh

Do not close this terminal, unless you want to stop working locally!

1. If you don't have a local workspace created, you can create one from a Workspace asset, as is shown in the following pictures:

Once you have a Workspace created, press the button to open it and wait until the load is completed

1. You will notice that the started Local-Workspace appears in the terminal where you run the Asimovo Local Client. If you are thinking if it is possible to have more than 1 workspace, the answer is yes!

Now you have your setup ready. You can choose between working in the web-platform or in your local space. Working in the platform is taught in this page. The next steps explain how to start a terminal and a code editor locally.

1. Open a new terminal locally, please execute:

cd ~/asimovo
./attach_cli.sh

You can see that it is the same terminal you have on the web-platform. Now you can follow the steps in the documentation of the project to launch the ROS2 nodes.

1. You need to know where the files are located on your personal computer in order to edit them locally:

cd ~/.asimovo/usermounts

Now if you open VS Code then drag and drop the folder to the left side, you will be able to edit your code locally
