I have 4 DC motors, and I do not need to individually control each of them. Can I connect all the motors parallely to one pair of motor pins on the L293D? Does this pose any issues?

I'm using BO geared motors with the following specs: RPM - 100; Output Torque - 0.8--5kgcm; Operating Voltage - 3v-12v; No-load Current - 57 mA;

If they are high voltage very low current tiny micro-motors, ok but not likely work if DCR of coil is near Rce of transistors resulting in huge voltage drop on L293D – Tony Stewart EE75 Apr 01 '18 at 16:50
You need to add some detail about your DC motors if you want an answer. – StainlessSteelRat Apr 01 '18 at 17:59
@StainlessSteelRat I have added that information. – sixter Apr 02 '18 at 01:02
