Yes I used just a bare AVR chip but the arduino nano is easier to use and I've 
seen them for $3 with free Shipping. They can hold at least 2000 lines of code 
and run at 16 MHz. The Mano has more then enough PWM and ADC Pins and can drive 
an lcd display for status and control. You get quite a lot of computer for $3

But also buy a mechanical fail safe
