Dear all. Is anyone tried to use and setup M13/M14 and M15 to control a second spindle control CW and CCW using KmotionCNC Setup screen

Hi Peter,

M13,M14, and M15 are not defined in KMotionCNC.  But you could configure M103, M104, and M105 if you wish.

I think the overall most general approach is to treat dual/triple Spindles as if you had a Tool Changer and as if you were loading different Tools.  The "tool change" program in KFLOP can then set a global state (Virtual Bit or persist variable) in KFLOP to direct subsequent M3,M4,M5, and S actions to the appropriate device.  The Tool Table length and xy offsets can then be used to compensate for the second spindle.  There is also a ToolTableSet.c example that you might use to "touch off" each spindle and set the Tool Length for the current Spindle. 

HTH
