You Need LedControl.h for Arduino IDE.

Step 1: What You'll Need

Arduino or Arduino Clone
8x8 Dot Matrix With Driver Board
5 Male to Female Jumper Wires

If you get this stuff of eBay its about $10 AU.

Step 2: Wiring

VCC goes into 5v on the Arduino.
GND goes to GND.
DIN goes to pin 12.
CS goes to pin 11.
CLK goes to pin 10.

Step 3: Programming

//worm

#include <Ledcontrol.h>
int DIN = 12;
int CS =  11;
int CLK = 10;
