The ION Audio Xbox Drum Rocker (iED07) is a peripheral designed for use with the Xbox gaming console, specifically for rhythm-based games. This service manual provides comprehensive information for service technicians regarding the operation, maintenance, and repair of the device.

Function Description:

The Xbox Drum Rocker is an electronic drum kit that allows users to simulate playing drums in rhythm games. It connects to the Xbox console and translates physical drum hits into in-game actions. The device features multiple drum pads and cymbal pads, designed to replicate a real drum set experience. It includes a main PCB (Printed Circuit Board) that processes input from the various pads and communicates with the Xbox. The system incorporates a matrix scanning approach for detecting drum hits, utilizing a combination of transistors (MBT4403) and comparators (LM339) to sense signals from the pads. The main PCB also handles power management and communication protocols specific to the Xbox.

Important Technical Specifications:

Main PCB: The core of the device is the main PCB, identified as part number 9-40-0503-A, with an assembly number 9-79-0503-A-0. It is a 2-layer FR-4 board, measuring 209x89mm.
Microcontroller: The PCB utilizes an IC P89LPC924FDH microcontroller (U3) for processing inputs and managing device functions.
Comparators: LM339 analog comparators (U1, U8) are used extensively for signal detection from the drum and cymbal pads.
Transistors: NPN (2N4401) and PNP (2N4403) transistors are employed in various parts of the circuit, including for driving signals and managing power. MBT4403 transistors (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8) are specifically used in the drum pad input matrix.
Crystal Oscillator: A 12 MHz crystal (X1) with 18pF parallel capacitance is used for timing the microcontroller.
Power Supply: The device operates with a +3.3V power supply, with additional +VTRIG and +VBUS_CTRL lines for various components.
Connectors: The PCB includes multiple connectors (J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7, J8, J9, J10, J11) for connecting the drum pads, cymbal pads, and other external components.
Drum Pads: The system supports various drum pads (Red Drum, Yellow Drum, Blue Drum, Green Drum) and cymbal pads (Yellow Cymbal, Blue Cymbal, Green Cymbal), along with a Kick pedal. Each pad typically includes a replaceable color ring (Red, Yellow, Orange, Blue, Green).
Fuses: The product may employ replaceable fuses, and it is critical to replace them with the same type or equivalent recommended by the manufacturer to prevent fire or electrocution.
Internal Battery: If present, the internal battery should only be replaced with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer, and used batteries must be disposed of according to instructions.

Usage Features:

Drum Rocker Experience: The device is designed to provide an immersive drumming experience for Xbox rhythm games, with distinct pads for different drum and cymbal sounds.
Color-Coded Pads: The drum and cymbal pads are often color-coded (Red, Yellow, Blue, Green) to correspond with in-game prompts, making it easier for users to follow rhythms.
Kick Pedal: A dedicated kick pedal (102170014) is included to simulate the bass drum, enhancing the realism of the drumming experience.
Adjustable Components: The cymbal supports (102150023 Long, 102150022 Short) and drum clamps (102370002) allow for some adjustability in the setup, enabling users to customize the drum kit layout to their preference.
Connectivity: The drum kit connects to the Xbox console via a dedicated Xbox 360 USB cable (OTCAXBOX360-400).
