Moving a cursor with Labview and pressure sensors

Hello! 

 

I am working on a project with labview. I would like to be able to move an on-screen cursor via feedback from pressure sensors on a chair. For example, if I lean forward in a chair, I want the cursor to move north on screen. If I lean backward, I want the cursor to move south. Would anyone be able to offer advice on how to start?

 

Thank you.

So ill let you figure out your overall architecture, but youll obviously need some hardware to measure the pressure sensors.  Do you already have this?After that its just a matter of reading the sensor and having some logic to control the cursor movement based on the sensor feedback.


There is a call to control cursor position though.

 

Here is a link to it.
