[Orca Hand] Tactile driver loads but no sensor channels show up for builders researchers (beginner)

Orca Hand discussion on tactile drivers loading while no channels appear, enumeration and wiring checks, and how builders separate software from hardware causes.

A frustrating Orca Hand sensing problem appears when the tactile driver seems to load normally, yet no channels, pads, or expected sensor streams actually appear for use.

How are you diagnosing Orca Hand cases where the tactile driver loads but no sensor channels show up?

Please share how you verify device enumeration, connector state, and software expectations, and what checks help you distinguish a simple host setup problem from damaged sensing hardware or bad wiring.

If you reply, include one exact symptom after driver startup and one exact enumeration or hardware check that exposed the cause.

    The best replies explain whether the failure looked like zero devices, partial channels, or empty data streams.

    If one enumeration or connector check exposed the issue quickly, share it. Searchers usually want the fastest split between software and hardware.

    It also helps to say how you made the sensing stack reliable after the fix.
