I also have a UA741C Opamp which I want to test out, which requires a dual power supply (I know that the 741 is obsolete and there are single supply opamps out there that are preferable, however I want to use this one just for the sake of seeing it work as 90% of opamp circuit diagrams in my undergrad textbook reference this IC). I was wondering if it would be possible to split two 5V supply lines in the above module to produce a Vcc = +5V and a Vee = -5V line for the breadboard with a ground in between? Something like below:
If not, are there any cheap strategies for obtaining a dual power supply? Thanks!
EDIT: feel a little stupid asking this because if you think about it: it wouldn't make sense to get a 10 V output range from the 9 V DC battery that I was powering this module with. Also thanks for all the suggestions, I will be checking them all out to see what works best!
Use 2 cell phone supplies.
They supply 5V.
Connect the - from one to the + from the other, connect this union to GND,
and between the + of the first and the union of the two will have +5V and between the - of the second and the union will have -5V,
