  Hello all,

  I have an RPI 4b and a geekworm motor hat. I have the latest updates on the RPI and I'm using Python version 3.9. I'm trying to run 2 DC motors at the same time. I need to start and stop BOTH motors at the same time. I can run any of the 2 motors, but only one at a time. Is this possible with the hardware that I have?

  Thanks

  Hello，

  In the strict sense,  there is no simultaneous situation， all hardware is executed step by step. So as long as the instruction is executed continuously during the opening and closing, since the execution speed of the instruction is fast enough, it seems to be simultaneous.

  Best regards
