- Select M5 Stack Core 2 and in the editor Modules>TFT Display>Elements, click on [...] button, so that "Elements" window will open.
- In the Elements window drag "Draw Text1" and in the Properties window set "X to 60, "Y" to 70 and "Size" to 10, "Text" to LED, select "Fill Color" and click on the pin icon and select "Alpha Color SinkPin"
- Select "CompareRange1" and in the Properties window set "Only Changed" to False, "Range">"Max" to 200 and "Range">"Min" to 100
- Select "CompareRange2" and in the Properties window set "Only Changed" to False, "Range">"Max" to 200 and "Range">"Min" to 100
Note: with CompareRange1 and CompareRange2 you set the Rectangle detection on the screen, you can adjust the Max and Min values according to your needs.
- Select "And1" and in the properties window set "Output pins" to 3
- Select "DigitalToColor1" and in the properties window set "False Value" to clRed and "True Value" to clGreen

- Connect "Split1" pin [X] to "CompareRange1" pin [In]
- Connect "Split1" pin [Y] to "CompareRange2" pin [In]
- Connect "CompareRange1" pin [Out] to "And1" pin [0]
- Connect "CompareRange2" pin [Out] to "And1" pin [1]
- Connect "Split1" pin [Pressed] to "And1" pin [2]
- Connect "And1" pin [Out] to "TFlipFlop1" pin [Clock]
- Connect "TFlipFlop1" pin [Out] to "DigitalMultiSource1" pin[In]
- Connect "DigitalMultiSource1" pin[0] to "DigitalToColor1" pin [In]
- Connect "DigitalMultiSource1" pin[1] to M5 Stack Core 2 > "LED" pin[In]
- Connect "DigitalToColor1" pin[Out] to "ColorMultiSource1" pin [In]
- Connect "ColorMultiSource1" pin[0] to M5 Stack Core 2 > "Draw Text1" pin[Fill Color]
- Connect "ColorMultiSource1" pin[1] to M5 Stack Core 2 > "Draw Text1" pin[Clock]
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.
Step 7: PlayIf you power the M5 Stack Core, the display should start showing the "LED" text and if you touch it the internal board LED should turn ON or OFF.
