## Retrieving joint limits
In a terminal, echo the `/joint_limits` topic:
```{.bash .shell-prompt .copy}
ros2 topic echo /joint_limits
```
In a second terminal, request the driver publish the joint limits:
```{.bash .shell-prompt .copy}
ros2 service call /get_joint_states std_srvs/srv/Trigger {}
```
In the first terminal, you'll see a single message get published. It'll look like this:

We're misusing the [sensor_msgs/JointState](https://docs.ros.org/en/noetic/api/sensor_msgs/html/msg/JointState.html) message to publish the joint limits. The `name` array lists out each ranged joint. The `position` array lists the lower bound for each joint. The `velocity` array lists the upper bound. The length of these 3 arrays will be equal, because the index of the joint in the `name` array determines which index the corresponding limits will be in the other two arrays.
The revolute joints will have their limits published in radians, and the prismatic joints will have them published in meters. See the [Hardware Overview](../../getting_started/stretch_hardware_overview/) to see the ranges represented visually.
