Has anyone successfully used the Raspberry PI for mining.

You simply use an RPi as a controller for mining Bitcoin with USB miners.
It wont make you a fortune (or probably not even a profit) but you simply get some GekkoScience USB ASIC miners like here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.0

It doesn't appear either of the retailers mentioned in the ANN thread have the USB miners in stock/for sale. Even without this pesky little detail, the default settings allow each of these miners to mine at 23 GH/sec, and at current difficulty/price, that works out to be about $2.75 per year in total mining revenue. It appears some settings can be changed so that the miner can get up to 90 GH/s, which works out to about $10.77 per year in total revenue. Before accounting for cooling costs, and costs associated with having many USB ports for these to connect to (and associated electric costs), you can't pay more than about 0.062/KWH to turn any profit with those miners.

And if the USB ASIC mine $10 in BTC on the pool for one year. You will be lucky if you can withdrawal it too a wallet.
