I want to implement this truth table (in Figure 1.1) into a circuit using an 8-1 multiplexer. I did the circuit schematic (in Figure 1.2) in Xilinx ISE Design Suite and it does work, but when I try to make the wiring diagram (in Figure 1.3) with a program the circuit does not work. Can you help me identify the error?

Thanks.

    \$\begingroup\$ FWIW, and maybe not much, I'd connect D0 and D1 directly to Vcc and GND. That is, if I got it right that they're going to get known values when used, since C controls both them and S0. \$\endgroup\$

The cathode of the LED must be connected to the ground not Vcc

    \$\begingroup\$ Trivial stuff is the easiest to overlook since you usually assume its correct. Thats why those errors hide unless someone else looks over. \$\endgroup\$
