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.
Click to the Libraries icon on the left bar of the Arduino IDE.
Type “keypad” on the search box, then look for the keypad library by Mark Stanley, Alexander Brevig
Click Install button to install keypad library.

Type “ezBuzzer” on the search box, then look for the buzzer library by ArduinoGetStarted
Click Install button to install ezBuzzer library.

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 several keys on the keypad
Listen to the beep and see the result in Serial Monitor
