How would I reroute the wiring for the matrix? Will it involve pulling out all my soldered capacitors,resistors and other parts?

Yes I started with the PCB and am using the preprogrammed ATmega328. I’m really a newbie at all of this so I have no idea how to reroute the wiring for the matrix :(

Since the full kit was sold out I did have to order parts individually, the bits that Evil Mad Scientist doesn’t sell individually had to be ordered from other sites. I got the LED matrix panel from here http://www.nooelec.com/store/components/optoelectronics-displays/led/led-displays/8×8-rgb-led-matrix-large-common-anode-diffused-lenses.html. That’s the only component that I think would make any difference

So the cable I have should work and I should check the assembly of the board again? I’m pretty sure i’ve soldered everything correctly in regards to capacitors and chips. If in the case I have assembled everything correctly, what is the next step to look at from there?

I haven’t installed any of the option LEDs or the buzzer but the LED doesn’t make any light and sound. 

I’m new at this so I wasn’t sure about what you meant about the programming interface. I’m using this cable http://www.dx.com/p/6-pin-usb-to-ttl-adapter-cable-380356

I’m using the latest Arduino interface. I’ve tested the Meggy Jr’s power with a multimeter and the current is going through and the reset button seems to prompt more avrdude: stk500_getsync() messages when I press it. I mentioned the chip’s orientation because that seems to be one of the first things to look at while trouble shooting.
