 Behind your board, there are **two plastic leaves**, one over the other. They hold all the switches. When your dart hits a segment, **the two leaves touch together**, and the circuit is shuts. **The signal is sent**.\\

 So we will **load the representation of the matrix** (a matrix table) in the Arduino, so each time you will hit a segment on your board, it will **send a specific signal** to the computer depending on the row and the column hit on the matrix.
-It is **recommended** (but no more mandatory) to connect **board's buttons** : so "next player", "backup turn" and "give up" can be done directly from board during games. So we need add a column to the matrix.\\

 On the Arduino UNO micro controller, there are several connectors : A0, A1 ….1,2,3..etc. With the example of a 8x8 ribbons + 1 column for the buttons (= 8x9), you will get something like the **following example** :
