Square Wave oscillator output error

Electriconic

Hi, hope i am posting this in the right section...i am currently working on this 160 hz design (warning its for an assignment) and C must be 100nf, RF must be 10k, R1 must be 4.7k, i need to calculate R value (47k) and then design this circuit, now i am strugglling to achieve the desired output of a square wave, am i doing something obviously wrong with the circuit design?

 

many thanks in advance

  • Check your supplies, looks like both IC pins might be at 2V, a 741 probably needs more like +/-5, +/-15 would be "traditional", note the the IC V+ is at the bottom. (V+ and V- don't want to be common!) Also let the simulation run a little longer to get the circuit running properly. Dump the IC=2 part on the output, set the IC property on C1 to 0, this will have it discharged at the start of simulation.
