Are they the older Smart Color or the newer Smart Color PRO?I'm in a new space and our Apollo Scrollers mostly work but some occasionally home forever. Is this a quick fix or is it a bigger problem. It's driving me crazy.
Thanks
Are you talking about the power supply being bigger?Sadly I just had this same issue...and later on in that day the power supply fried. It was then that I realized that they didn't cover anything up in their recent renovation and it was loaded with concrete dust inside.
Also, I was kind of surprised that the new one was twice as big as the old one...granted it does seem like a much better design because it doesn't get anywhere near as hot as the old one always did.

No, nothing is missing John. The PROs don't have a sensor, but instead have an enclosed encoder on each motor. That is one of the major improvements we made when designing the PRO. The encoder can't get out of alignment and is enclosed so it can't as easily get dirty. Also, having one on each motor increases the accuracy, allowing for longer strings.
Yeah, those units had... issues. I do not in any way want it to seem like I am putting down Apollo's good friend, Dr. DMX, or his company. There were some problems with those units and the specific power supply used. We also didn't like the way some things were done inside of the units. Hence, we designed our own. Doug was very understanding and had no hard feelings toward us for discontinuing his product and bringing our own to market, and we thank him for that. I believe he was already moving on to bigger and better things at that time and that meant he could stop making those specific units and develop them into some of the products he has now.Yes, if it helps to put an age to the old one, it still had Doug Fleenor Designs guts. It was my understanding in researching if it was be better to repair or replace that they haven't made them in years. Ultimately, it was better to replace since everything fried.
