Hi Guys
I'm new here and kinda new to electronics, have dabbled with them but never really learnt abut circuits etc. I've had a search and found a couple of threads that have given me a lot of help but have a couple of questions before i start buying parts
I'm trying to make a voltage regulator to control a DC motor, range is from 3-12v but it needs to be able to deliver 10 amps. I've found plenty of diagrams and how to's for voltage regulators up to 3A but nothing very detailed for anything above that
I've found a circuit diagram that was linked to in another thread which i've attatched
I can understand that i need 2 IC's, i've found these but have no idea if they are suitable or not?

other than that i'm pretty stumped, i know i need capacitors and diodes and i think a variable resistor of some kind? as to what ratings they need to be i don't know. If someone could give me the specs of each of the parts i would be greatful
also why are there so many grounds??
thanks in advance for any help
