An assembly includes a first structure, a second structure, a hinge that connects the first structure to the second structure for rotation of the first structure relative to the second structure around an axis, and a motion control component. The motion control component applies a feedback force to the hinge in response to an external force that is applied to the first structure. A magnitude of the feedback force is determined based on a current angular position of the first structure relative to the second structure.

A stepping motor control device includes a rotation detection unit and a control unit. The rotation detection unit detects a rotation state of a rotor of the stepping motor after outputting a driving pulse to the stepping motor that rotates a hand. The control unit controls the hand to be driven to rotate in a reverse direction by outputting a plurality of first pulses having different energies as a plurality of test pulses before outputting the first pulse, causing the rotation detection unit to detect the rotation state of the rotor by the test pulse after outputting each of the plurality of test pulses, setting a test pulse according to the detected rotation state as the first pulse, and using the set first pulse and the second pulse having polarity different from that of the first pulse as the driving pulse.
