Multiple spindle setup question (MDI commands to second spindle flagging error.)

I'm in the process of adding a laser diode to my router.

The laser needs 12V, PWM, GND. the 12V power is connected via a relay.
I have each of these signal working correctly when the relay is controlled by coolant mist signal. I can change the PWM to xx% using a M67 E0 Sxx. I'd like to control the laser as a second spindle and have the 12V relay be controlled by spindle.1.on.

I specify loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD num_joints=[KINS]JOINTS num_spindles=2 and I can see both spindles in halshow, but when I send a "M3 $1" MDI command, I get the following message:

"Spindle ($) number out of range in M3. Command num_spindles=1 $=1."

I see a similar message when I try "S20 $1".

At this point, I don't need control over spindle.1 from the GUI but I would like it to work from MDI or gcode.

What else is required (besides num_spindles=2) to get multiple spindles working? 
 

Did some more searching and looks like I just need to add:

[TRAJ]
SPINDLES = 2

[SPINDLE_0] in ini file with max min speeds
[SPINDLE_1]

Adding SPINDLES=2 to [TRAJ] section of .ini got me further in the process. The laser now enables in response to M3 $1. Air compressor turns on M8 (coolant flood), crosshair laser turns on with M7.

However when I run code it's waiting whenever at the first move whenever spindle.1.on is true (I use M3 $1 to set it true.) I also tried the M3 $1 before I run the following g-code and still runs to the G0 X0 Y0 X7 line and waits???

setp spindle.1.at-speed true

What else needs to be setup for gcode movement to work when a spindle is on? 

Intent is to use if for both vectors/bitmaps from lightburn or f360 generated gcode.
I haven't found a great F360 processor but lightburn generates files with M3/M67's.

Basic connections are:
laser_enable connected to the laser +12V power
laser_pwm from motion analog out
laser-cross-hair connected to relay powering smaller laser. (coolant-mist)
laser-air-relay connected to air compressor relay  (coolant-flood)

Yes, I can enable the laser/power with one of the coolant pins and it all works(without the M3 $1).
I was trying to stay close to the lightburn method and that also let me use the flood and mist buttons to turn on the air compressor and crosshair laser without changing the gui(gmoccapy).

Not sure what's missing that causes it to wait??
I tried M3 $1 S100 without any success.

Yes, I had at-speed true. 

Rethought my approach to this machine. I'll be using a different config when its running the plasma cutter so I might as well have three configs. router spindle, laser, plasma.

Changed back to num_spindles=1 and use spindle.0.on instead of spindle.1.on to enable the laser power relay and everything works. Not sure whether I should open an issue but I'm giving up on multiple spindles in one config. I've got some leather pads to cut for my kayaks so enough monkeying around with the config and time to make some smelly leather cuts.

Thanks for the support and have a great weekend!
