probably, I guess they would be started within the same millisecond,
which would result in synchronized wafeforms.

It's not that bad, when the waveform is off the motor is floating.
So the power control will be ineffective at worst.

| (...) If all motor ports are started and stopped together, does that synchronise the PWM waveforms? If not, then I don't recommend paralleling up. If so, then I recommend paralleling up only when motors are started and stopped together and are run (...) (18 years ago, 23-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
