I'm not refusing, I drew a schematic back there and I showed my circuit, I just don't have anything on a more proper format. I'll do it on multisim, just a sec.Why do you refuse to show us your schematic?
I mean it makes sense to clip near 5, since it's not a linear thing, but so much? I could use a 9V battery to V+ and the arduino 5V to V-, but how do I turn those 5V to -5V?The minimum supply voltage for the TL071 is 6V.
The input range should be restricted to 4V above the negative supply and 4V below the positive supply. You might get away with 3V above the negative supply and right up to the positive supply.
The permissible output voltage swing is up to within 3V of either supply rail.
To use the TL071 in your circuit, it will need a negative supply voltage of at least -4V and a positive supply of at least 9V.
