[Orca Hand] Tactile connector intermittent signal and wiring checks for builders researchers (intermediate)

Orca Hand discussion on intermittent tactile signals, connector issues, wiring checks, and how teams separate sensor faults from grasp dynamics.

Some Orca Hand sensing failures are not algorithmic at all. The tactile stream looks fine in some grasps, then suddenly drops, spikes, or disappears because a connector or cable path is only intermittently healthy.

How are you diagnosing intermittent tactile signals on Orca Hand without mistaking a wiring issue for a real grasp event?

Please share how you inspect connectors, reproduce the fault, and decide whether the problem belongs in the sensor path, cable routing, or the interpretation layer.

If you reply, include one exact intermittent-signal symptom and one exact wiring or connector check that confirmed the root cause.

    The most useful replies here explain how the fault was reproduced reliably instead of only saying the connector was bad.

    If one flex position or cable route exposed the issue, share it. Searchers often need exactly that clue.

    It is also helpful to say how you ruled out thresholding or filtering before touching the wiring.
