Setting the precision and rounding mode control bits is necessary, but not sufficient.

You should round/truncate your values EVERY STEP before you send them. This helps a lot.

It also helps to send the full baseline every so often (every 10 seconds?) which will help in the case where two slightly-different results round differently (you'll always have that case).

If you're studly, you detect out-of-sync and only send full-state where necessary.
