Feature request: spi encoder

[DAlvarez]

It would be very useful to be able to use an external encoder using any serial protocol.
I'm working with a RLS AksIM-2 with SPI, and I don't see an easy way to integrate this encoders with the code generated by the MC Workbench.
As at the moment the only supported encoder is a quadrature encoder, I tried to create a fake timer and emulate a quadrature encoder, but It didn't work.

Hello DAlvarez,

We would like to thank you for your request and inform you that we will be working on the implementation of this feature.
We will come back to you if we find an easy way to make a workaround in the meantime.

Hi Gael, 

Was there any progress on this?

We're about to implement the same encoder as DAlvarez, and though I'm sure it can be done any hints towards an easier path would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Scott
