Searched and might have the answer but just want to verify…I have an Everlast 256SI 3 in 1 and wanting to buy a Arcdroid…problem is it does not have a CNC port.  
Can I simply grab a connection on the two wires (#1 and #2) at the plug-in on the plasma torch and run them to the connection points on the Arcdroid or will it need much more to function??  
THANKS in advance!!  
Paul

I’ll attach a photo of the compatibility list for Everlast. I went with the 62i after learning my multi process Everlast wasn’t compatible.

Problem is, i already have a 256si… I’m just wondering if i can connect it to the arcdroid (without issues of course).  
Thanks for the reply.

I just checked the manual and it says yours is a non high frequency start so I think you are correct and SHOULD be good to go. Also saw a couple users have been successful with the same machine. I’d imagine grabbing 1 & 2 on the torch should do the trick

@plongson yes, the 256si works like a champ. If you do a search on 256si you’ll run across a few posts that cover the topic. Good Luck 👍
