Raspberry Pi with ESC

Hi

I am new to coding and I am trying to control ESCs through a PS3 controller which will be coded on the Raspberry Pi B+. I think this can be done, but i have read in a lot of places that I need to use an additional board? Is this the case?

I have found some code which i was going to manipulate..

Please advise me on if I need another board?

My project: is to create a system which can VTOL. So I wanted to control the ESCs with an input from the PS3 controller.
