Hey guys, I've been using HID to VPAD for a long time, I usually use the Switch Pro Controller on it, I would like to know if there is any way to use the motion sensor on it, my GamePad broke and I wish I could play Splatoon.
The best solution is currently to tie a Wiimote+ to it (I imagine this would work physically with a Switch Pro Controller instead of a Wii U one, if you've already got it talking to the console with HID-to-Vpad):
The developer, Maschell, did make an experimental version of HID-to-Vpad that let you use the Dual Shock 4's gyroscopes through the Network Client
https://twitter.com/MaschellDev/status/900372028213088256. But he wasn't happy with how it performed and he didn't include it in the main release.
So you might be able to do this if you manage to connect the Pro Controller to your computer and make it act as a DS4.
The source code is available at
https://github.com/Maschell/hid_to_vpad/tree/DS4GyroAndTouchtest, and it's only one letter-release behind the master branch (0.9j vs k) but there isn't a compiled version, and I haven't managed to compile it myself.
GBATemp member jacobsson was kind enough to build it and post it here:

I managed to get it to load exactly once, but couldn't get it to work as I didn't have an appropriate config file. Then I turned off the console to add the config file to the SD card and it's only given me a black screen since then.
