    Seriously? Not to be rude and with all due respect, what you're asking for is an engineering design and support for something you believe you can build cheaply. You neither wish to pay for support or hardware/software design. If you have a deep background in engineering design, then two things would be obvious: the first is that you'll spend more money doing this yourself then buying an off the shelf unit and second this will take more time then you expect.
    If you don't have a deep background in engineering design then why would you attempt this?
    That being said, I'll let you in on a secret. A THC is nothing more than a glorified comparator circuit. Hardened to withstand HF surges used to fire the plasma torch. There are easily a thousand comparator circuits published both on the web and in discrete device reference manuals.
    Good Luck and God speed.
