How to read or get an encoder's value without using encoder mode?

[MArvi.1]

Hi all,

I am wondering if it is possible to read an encoder using STM32-L476RG without its Enocder-Mode function. If so, how do I do it?

Thanks.

bit-bang it as you would on a microcontroller which doesn't have special encoder facilities.

As you're not relying upon specific features of a particular chip, this would be entirely general:
