I am sorry, but I can't follow the circuit diagram. It is not clear to me
what pins are joined, and what are not. Sometimes you have used a filled
circle to indicate lines are joined, and in another case there's a
semicircle to indicate that they are not. But on some of the others, I
don't know what are supposed to be joined and what are not.
