• Connect "DigitalMultiSource1" pin [0] to "M5 Stack Core" > "Fill Screen1" pin [Clock]"
• Connect "DigitalMultiSource1" pin [1] to "M5 Stack Core" > "Fill Screen1" pin [Scan]"
• Connect "M5 Stack Core" > pin "SSID" to "M5 Stack Core" >"TFT Display" pin "In"

Step 5: Generate, Compile, and Upload the Code

In Visuino, at the bottom click on the "Build" Tab, make sure the correct port is selected, then click on the "Compile/Build and Upload" button.
