YDLIDAR TG30 data oscillates between 0 and measured value

[ghost]

Description

I am using the YDLIDAR TG30 sensor to measure distances in my project. However, I noticed that the data from the sensor is not stable and oscillates between 0 and the actual measured value. This makes it hard to use the sensor for accurate measurements.

关于YDLIDAR TG30传感器的数据不稳定的问题。发现传感器的数据在0和实际测量值之间波动，导致无法进行精确的测量。希望得到解决方案或建议。谢谢！

Steps to reproduce

• Connect the YDLIDAR TG30 sensor to a computer via USB
• Run the ydlidar_launch.py launch file with the TG.yaml parameters
• Observe the output data from the sensor
  • Launch rqt and plot any one of the scanned data, eg: /scan/ranges[1]

Expected behavior

The output data from the sensor should be consistent (or oscillates around the measured value) and reflect the actual distance to the objects in front of the sensor.

Actual behavior

The output data from the sensor fluctuates between 0 and the actual distance to the objects in front of the sensor. For example, if the object is 1 meter away, the output data will alternate between 0 and 1 meter.
