A frustrating Orca Hand setup problem appears when the operating system detects a USB device, yet the calibration tool still cannot see the tactile board it expects. Everything looks half-alive, which makes debugging slower.

How are you diagnosing Orca Hand cases where the USB device is detected but the calibration tool cannot see the tactile board?

Please share how you verify board identity, permissions, and tool expectations, and what checks help you distinguish a software discovery problem from a board-level or connector-level failure.

If you reply, include one exact detection symptom and one exact tool or hardware check that exposed the cause.

Comment 1

The best replies explain whether the board appeared under the wrong identity, wrong permissions, or wrong software target.

Comment 2

If one board-identity or permissions check solved the issue quickly, share it. That split is what many searchers want.

Comment 3

It also helps to explain how you made later calibration sessions more reliable.
