Control and Interface hardware. 1.1 Optical Shaft Encoders. The measurement system for the CMU DD Arm uses two types of Optical Shaft Encoders: Incremental. encoders and Absolute or Shaft Position encoders [6]* Joints 1,3*5 and 6 have incremental encoders and joints. 2 and 4 have absolute encoders. In the home position, the axes are vertical for joints 1,3 and 5; and are.
