FWIW, the SmoothStepper plug-in sets the axis DROs in Mach based on where each axis actually is. It works something like this:

1) Mach plans moves
2) The SS plug-in sends the planned moves to the SmoothStepper
3) The SS reports back to Mach (sets DROs) on where each axis is.

Sorry forgot we were talking about the SS. The thing is however the SS plugin does not have any functionality in it to read endcoders and make updates to the position, unless however that has changed very recently?

No the SmoothStepper cannot use encoders as feedback.
