Wow, cool! Is it working well for you? Are you connecting the home switch in HAL to the index-enable pin on the encoder? If so you're essentially doing index masking in software, and that should work just fine. It just seems a bit cleaner to me to do it in firmware. But, any way that works is a pretty good way.
