Programming a rather simple plugin?

Good evening to all.

I have recently made myself a small piece of hardware that is rather simple, and it measures the pressure of my finger. Now, I know how to in C++ convert this pressure into a simple variable.
What I’d want in my photoshop plug in, is to have this pressure variable to determine the size of my brush.
So basicly, I just want to convert a variable to brush width. Is this possible? If so, how?

This can be done from outside Photoshop. Write a windows (or Mac) pressure sensitive stylus driver that takes input from your device and combines that with the mouse.

Thanks for your answer, this helps a lot, and makes sense as well.. Is this easy to do for a programming newb? I know the basics, as I’m familiar with PHP and other languages.

@ Ron: I wish I could, but what I have is not as precise as a Wacom, it’s more intended to create more ‘feeling’ and emotions in your work.

Is there any easy C++ function or library concerning pressure for input?
I can’t seem to find anything relevant with google..

Look for WinTab. Here’s one link, there may be newer ones. I’m assuming you’re on windows:http://www.sonycsl.co.jp/projects/ar/restricted/wint abl.html —
