After installing and following the procedure on the official documentation I launch rviz, the node roslaunch velodyne_pointcloud VLP16_points.launch and add the rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 map velodyne 10 but I got the following warning:

Packet containing angle overflow

I would like to ask what the implications are about this warning or if it is something I should not worry about and if the lidar could have some problems.

I have been readin from this ticket that this is due to the latest version of the velodyne 16 but I am not sure if that is something I should worry about or if this is something that needs to be taken care of. From the same post a user this February had the same problem with Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic.

Thank you very much for pointing in the right direction.
