With EduMIP[1] and Scuttle[2], we use just the relative position updates (per librobotics[3]), but I met someone who was using it for absolute positioning on a jewelry mill (based on stepper motors) and was using the index and strobe functions I don’t typically utilize. He said the homing could be far more accurate that way than we see with mechanical switch homing stops.
