Abstract: An actuator controller that is capable of drivingly controlling an actuator, such as a motor, with a sufficient accuracy in spite of a simple configuration while preventing an incorrect detection of switching of a magnetic pole. The actuator controller drivingly controls an actuator having a driving element and a stator. A driver supplies an electric current to a coil provided in the stator so as to drive the driving element. A sensor detects a magnetic field of the driving element so as to detect a position of the driving element. A processor exclusively controls a timing at which the sensor detects the magnetic field and a timing at which the driver supplies the electric current to the coil.
