Help needed regarding scratchboards...

so I am creating a twister board with scratch boards, and when the paricipants press on one of the dots a music loop will start playing.. not TOO hard, but I am having dificulty because I need use 5 scratchboards (ie 20 jacks) and I need more options than just A B C or D connected, how can I get the computer to distinguish between the A's on each board? please help me!
so what can i do? how do i post a project?
oh and the twister board is a REAL WORLD twisterboard, not a virtualy twister board..

No idea.
Is it even possible to connect boards?

Scratch doesn't support multiple scratchboards.

Re: Help needed regarding scratchboards...

name30: you might be able to do it with only 1 scratch board if you think about the fact that the board senses a resistance in a range from 0 to 100, what if you assign each dot on a row a different resistance and then based on the total resistance you can figure out which dot was pressed? there are other ways...
