More scientifically, I think we'd say 'tourner de 180°'

I don't think so, that wouldn't make much sense; I imagine it has to be pointed backwards for alignment purposes, and then turned back to the front again for operation. As ever, knowing more about the overall context would help enormously... but going just on the language alone, this is how I would understand it: turn it end-for-end (i.e. so it faces exactly the opposite way).

| Il me semblerait plutôt que ce serait un tour à 360 °, alors, sinon, le laser ne pourrait plus viser dans la bonne direction... Merci |
