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 WIO Terminal, The Display will show the countdown time, if you press the "A" button you will be able to set the time, if you press the "B" button the time will reset, if you press the Main Blue button a countdown will start and if you press it a gain the countdown will pause.
