If that's your objective, then an ARM may not be the way to go. A
straight 'little' uC (AVR, PIC, 8-bit anyways) will be proper route.
ARMs, even a Cortex M0, may be too big. An AVR like the tiny44 (24, 84
too), might be a better fit. You'll have to abandon the crutch of a
MBED or Arduino. It's a dedicated PCB, with a lone little uC. To keep
parts down, try a special type of multiplexing called
'charlieplexing'.

You can try honing your skills with your AVR starter kit. Once you
feel up to snuff, then go for the dedicated hardware.
