[Orca Hand] Retargeting profile loads but finger limits feel wrong for builders researchers (intermediate)

How do you catch the case where an Orca Hand retargeting profile loads fine but finger travel still clamps too early or never reaches the intended grasp range?

A confusing Orca Hand software problem appears when a new retargeting profile loads without obvious errors, yet finger travel, saturation behavior, or usable grasp range still feels wrong during operation.

How are you diagnosing Orca Hand retargeting profiles that load successfully but still produce incorrect finger limits?

Please share how you compare expected joint ranges to actual finger motion, which signs suggest mapping or scale problems instead of hardware friction, and what validation steps you use before trusting a new profile in teleop or data collection.

If you reply, include one exact symptom after loading the profile and one exact range or mapping check that exposed the issue.

Comment 1

The best replies explain whether the wrong feel showed up as early clamping, incomplete closure, or unsafe extension.

Comment 2

If one range sweep or glove-to-finger mapping check exposed the issue quickly, share it. That is often the most useful test for searchers.

Comment 3

It also helps to explain how you distinguished software limits from tendon or mechanical problems.
