I have in the moment a rpi board from a fried in my hands and 
have seen it booting to a command login.

Looking to 
http://elinux.org/Rpi_Low-level_peripherals
I think there are for a extruder control:
- spi or i2c (for a ad converter)
- 8 pins (for pwm)

see for details:
http://elinux.org/RPi_BCM2835_GPIOs

Driver for spi and i2c:
http://www.bootc.net/archives/2012/05/19/i2c-and-the-raspberry-pi/

Some source code is on the page to drive the pins.

Summary:
It seems to me an overshoot to use so many
cpu power for such a simple task, but the board
is cheap and has a camera interface.

Cheers,
Joachim
