Bad frame ignored error -> Need a better cable¶
The Problem:
If you run a program that uses the TauLidarCamera library and it successfully opens to camera, but then shows an error that looks something like this:
Data error, actual size: 35644, expected size: 38480
Bad frame ignored, bytes length: 35564
Bad frame ignored, bytes length: 0
Bad frame ignored, bytes length: 0
...
The Solution:
Try switching to a high-quality cable! If possible, try using a not-super-long USB-C to USB-C cable from a reputable brand. Then try running the program again.
Try to avoid:
Long cables
USB hubs
USB adapters
Try to use:
Shorter cables
Direct USB-C to USB-C if possible
Cables from reputable brands
