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

How do you tell when an Orca Hand tactile signal problem is really an intermittent connector or cable issue instead of a difficult grasp event?

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.

Comment 1

The best replies here explain how the intermittent fault was reproduced reliably. Searchers need a repeatable test more than a general warning.

Comment 2

If one bend radius, connector seating issue, or cable route exposed the problem, share it. Those clues are very reusable.

Comment 3

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