ESP32 - Button - Piezo Buzzer
This tutorial instructs you how to use ESP32, button and piezo buzzer to do the following:
- ESP32 makes a sound when a button is pressed and stop it when the button is NOT pressed.
- ESP32 makes a melody if a button is pressed.

#define BUTTON_PIN 16 // ESP32 GPIO16 pin connected to button's pin
#define BUZZER_PIN 21 // ESP32 GPIO21 pin connected to Buzzer's pin
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // initialize serial
pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP); // set ESP32 pin to input pull-up mode
pinMode(BUZZER_PIN, OUTPUT); // set ESP32 pin to output mode
}
void loop() {
int buttonState = digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN); // read new state
if (buttonState == LOW) {
Serial.println("The button is being pressed");
digitalWrite(BUZZER_PIN, HIGH); // turn on
}
else
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
Serial.println("The button is unpressed");
digitalWrite(BUZZER_PIN, LOW); // turn off
}
}
Quick Instructions
- If this is the first time you use ESP32, see how to setup environment for ESP32 on Arduino IDE.
- Do the wiring as above image.
- Connect the ESP32 board to your PC via a micro USB cable
- Open Arduino IDE on your PC.
- Select the right ESP32 board (e.g. ESP32 Dev Module) and COM port.
- Copy the above code and paste it to Arduino IDE.
- Compile and upload code to ESP32 board by clicking Upload button on Arduino IDE
- Press and keep pressing the button several seconds
- Listen to piezo buzzer's sound

// stop the tone playing:
