I am trying to add a different laptop as my workstation but when I follow the same steps in the tutorial it doesn’t show the topics which are present.

Do I need to delete the previous workstation?  
or can I use both, but one of them must be off?

Is there a way I can do this without having to reflash my magni?

Edit: oldest trick in the book just restart your workstation

Hmm that should work, as long as both workstations have the ros master set to the robot’s address. The problems on your newer one probably aren’t related to having the other one connected.

Do I need to install the packages for Magni before connecting the robot to the workstation?  
I am following this one here:

> **[How to set up a ROS workstation](https://learn.ubiquityrobotics.com/workstation_setup)**
>
> Tutorials for Magni

  
Do I restart my machine?  
it’s telling me “cannot connect to master”
