I want to operate 2 step motors together (the same steps) can i connect them
in prallel
to the same driver outputs?? (the driver can "give" the current to both
motors)

Hello Dany,

motors)

If the driver is able to drive both of them, why not? To the driver it
will just look like a bigger motor.

However, you risk the two running "out of step". If one misses a step
and the other one doesn't they won't be mechanically in sync anymore in
case that's what you wanted.

Regards, Joerg
