Perhaps you could use this:


Gertboard is the ideal add-on for Raspberry Pi 
<http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi?ICID=gertboard-techdoc>. 
Designed by Gert van Loo 
<http://www.element14.com/community/videos/7300/l/interview-with-gert-van-loo-creator-of-the-gertboard-for-raspberry-pi>, 
it is a flexible experimenter board that plugs directly into your 
Raspberry Pi, and out into the physical world, allowing you to detect 
and respond to external physical events. Detect and output analogue 
voltages. Drive powerful motors. Detect switch presses. Illuminate LEDs 
and drive relays. Jumper cables allow you to hook up different parts of 
the circuit in many different ways, allowing total flexibility. All 
controlled by your own Raspberry Pi.
