Abstract
A driver device supplies an output current to each coil in a stepping motor to rotate a rotor. After the polarity and magnitude of the output current for each coil have reached the target polarity and magnitude, during control for keeping the polarity and magnitude of the output current for each coil at the target polarity and magnitude, occurrence of a particular current waveform in the output current due to a back-electromotive force resulting from the rotation of the rotor is detected so that, if a particular current waveform is detected, a predetermined detection signal is transmitted to an external device.
