My point was there's no more hassle using Absolute than incremental and there's actually less wiring required because you're not fitting home switches etc.

You still need a homing switch to setup the absolute encoder reference. The only difference is that you don't need to home on subsequent power ups.

Been told doesn't need a physical switch the system just needs to be calibrated with encoder offset for the home position which can be obtained through software..! . . . I will find out soon enough.
