Try to burn bootloader on to blank chips atmega328P

I get this error after about a minute

Error while burning bootloader
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00

20 volt 2 amp drop that's 40 watts

This is a switching mode regulator.

There's onboard thermal regulation which prevents anything excess current being delivered to the LED.

That doesn't mean the less-than-excessive voltage from the regulator wouldn't cause excessive current / power dissipation on the led.

No, the board does not regulate current output at all: they call it a voltage regulator for a reason.

Read the data sheet it said if the output is shorted the chip decreases the voltage

you saying ohm 's law don't apply dherry if the voltage goes down the current can't go up.

20 volt 1 ohm load 20amps  5 volt 1 ohm load 5 amps

Now whats this say

(3) The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 18 kHz in the event of an output short or an overload which causes the regulated
output voltage to drop approximately 40% from the nominal output voltage. This self protection feature lowers the average power
dissipation of the IC by lowering the minimum duty cycle from 5% down to approximately 2%.

If you look at the board you posted there no way that board can handle a 20 volt 2 amp drop that's 40 watts
the chip should shut down, lower its voltage not increase it.

I volt this one http://www.thebox.myzen.co.uk/Tutorial/Inputs.html  It has real " sound knowledge"

Nice site Mike

Make then in the bathroom with the vent On

How do you get this to work the OP didn't even tell what transistor he was having problems with.

I remember when I was a kid and tube's where king I read about transistor's and I got my hands on one and it
was a big power transistor I hooked it up as a amp to a crystal set and my speaker didn't put out sound.

I wasn't driving the base with a enough current to turn it on.  

I would also keep h-bridge, MOSFET to one side of the board and not run any signal tracks under them.

I have seen that it works better to keep power and motor control switching more to there self. And run signal line to them far less noise pick up. And as said don't loop the gnd or the VDD line.

Grumpy_Mike You had not posted and when I did your post showed up so I left the quote. it just added to your post.

There are two types of transistors, which have slight differences in how they are used in a circuit. A bipolar transistor has terminals labeled base, collector, and emitter. A small current at the base terminal (that is, flowing between the base and the emitter) can control or switch a much larger current between the collector and emitter terminals. For a field-effect transistor, the terminals are labeled gate, source, and drain, and a voltage at the gate can control a current between source and drain.

I'll leave it But Bipolar transistor are current controlled

On some long SK boards there is no connection 1/2 way between the power rails.  Move the power wires closer to the I.C.

That could be it he is half way down the rail

Pull those caps off just to see if there loading the crystal I have seen to much bread board capacitance load the crystal.  

Well I tried the link you posted and filled out the forum And there a whole new set of datasheets these tell you something thanks  Krodal

Because it was useless, There datasheet doesn't even tell the pinout  P.S. I did it useless LOL

TC65I - MODULE Base board or shield to plug it in to any one seen one.

http://www.newark.com/cinterion/tc65i/module-gsm-gprs-quad-band-i2c-spi/dp/24R7673#accessories

There a so called datasheet for it but it doesn't have much info not even the pinout.

Here one for the OP LM317
