I was given the picture below to build the op amp on a breadboard

I tried using a LM348 op amp with the given resistors and capacitors but it didn't work. I havent used a breadboard in a while and followed the examples online but im doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

The picture didn't get posted.

LM348 has the characteristics of a 741, so it has a number of limitations.

A close up, well focused photo of your breadboard layout would also be helpful since you question your ability. Before you post the picture, look at it from our perspective. Are details that we need to see captured and clearly visible?

I will get a photo of it as soon as possible.

 

What supply voltages are you using? Is any part of the circuit working?

No hurry, take your time.

 

Hello,

That circuit needs a plus and minus voltage to power the op amp (two supplies).
Is that what you have.

If you only have a single supply then you need to add a virtual ground circuit at 1/2 the supply voltage to connect the the three circuit ground points on the bottom to.
That could be as simple as two 1kΩ resistors in series connected from the supply to ground with a 10μF capacitor to ground at the resistors' junction (which is the virtual ground point).

There are a number of points on the circuit shown as being connected to ground. This is the ground reference point for the outputs. Do NOT connect them to the negative supply.
If you are displaying the output on an oscilloscope, make sure there is no connection between the scope ground and the power supply ground.

 

Hello,

connect the the three circuit ground points

I see 4 ground points. The capacitor on the left also has a gound point.

Bertus

 

 

That circuit will never work on its own. I see no power supply connection.

 

Hello,

As @MrChips said, where is the power connected?
As the schematic shows a double powersupply, you could use 2 9 volts batteries to power the circuit.

Bertus

 

I see 4 ground points. The capacitor on the left also has a gound point.

Yes.
But that ground point is insensitive to the DC voltage so it doesn't need to go to the virtual ground (although it could).

 

As already noted, you don't have any power connections.

Relevant portion of the breadboard:


I see 2 100k, a 11k resistors. What is the value of the cap? What supply voltages do you plan to use?

EDIT: On second thought, the odd resistor could be 22k and the cap is too small to be 1uF...

 

Hi EG2

remove all passive components and start all over.

some of the reasons to recommend such drastic action are:

1. the 1k resistor is probably making contact with the ceramic capacitor.
2. the 10k and 1k resistors left pins, go, no where?
3. as pointed above, start with the power rails, bring power to the IC, check it works, and then start adding passive components using as many additional tracks as needed
4. keep the components as flat as possible, you have piled up 3 resistors while there's plenty of space and available tracks to avoid that.

Please let us know once this oscillator starts working by posting a scope screen
