I'm looking for any version of the 1CogKbM driver that works with any version of a Spin2 compiler. Can anyone point me to a combination of driver and compiler that works together? I've tried every combination I can find, and by messing around with the code I can usually make it compile, and (usually) get the start-up banner to appear -so I know it is compiling, loading and executing. But none of my attempts seem to get any further. And Spin2 does my head in
I'm using a P2 Eval board, which I know used to work with this driver, but I can't seem to find the right combination of driver version and Spin2 compiler any more.
USBNew is good. I mainly use it for game controllers.
For keyboards and mice, still using a modification of the old version...
There are variations on this that let you not use the enable pin and not use the LED pin...
CON 'USB mouse pin settings --> Set USB keyboard basepin here!
USB_BASE_PIN =24'16'24'16'24'16 'led for USB activity
USB_ENABLE_PIN =USB_BASE_PIN+1 'Parallax adapter uses this to control USB power (can be -1 to disable)
USB_DM_PIN =USB_BASE_PIN+2 'upper port on Parallax 2 port adapter
USB_ERR_LED_PIN =USB_BASE_PIN+0 'Need to update USB driver so this can be ignored...
var 'USB kbm vars
long mx,my,MaxX,MaxY,buttons,scan1,scan2 'leave these together in this order
'Start keyboard
'Start up USB
kbm.Start(USB_BASE_PIN, USB_ENABLE_PIN, USB_DM_PIN, USB_ERR_LED_PIN, @mx)
'Wait for keypress
repeat until scan1

If it compiles and load but doesn't work maybe is some settings, like pin numbers, clock settings, etc. ?
The original 1CogKbM driver doesn't support hubs.
Anyway, the usb driver I have on my Github repository https://github.com/maccasoft/P2/blob/master/usb.spin2 is PASM-only so it is compiler-independent, it doesn't have a Spin interface, you need to compile and run with debug to see activity from connected devices.
Other versions, like Ada's usbnew have a lot of preprocessor statements that are not compatible with either PNut or Spin Tools.

Aha! Bingo! Thanks very much!
I already have an older version of this driver included as part of Catalina - but I discovered a few days ago that while my version works ok with hardwired keyboards, it no longer works with any of the the hardwired mice I have on hand.
Your program confirmed that it is my mice that are the problem. The driver seems to support only a limited range of hardwired mice, and I had apparently replaced all my hardwired mice (which used to work) with ones that the 1CogKbM driver does not support - but I did not realize this until a few days ago.
Both your driver and mine still work with my wireless mouse and keyboard, so at least I now know the problem is with the driver, and is not something I broke in my version (which was what I had feared!).
Not sure how to fix the driver so it supports a wider variety of hardwired mice yet - but your "standalone" driver is sure to be a great help!

Take a look at usbnew linked above and follow the MOUSE_FULL_PROTOCOL defines, could be that you mice doesn't support the BOOT protocol.
