Introduction to Piezo Buzzer
The Piezo Buzzer is an electronic component that can make sound, beep or even play music.
Piezo Buzzer Pinout
Piezo Buzzer usually includes two pins:
- Positive (+) pin: The ESP32 generate the control signal to this pin
- Negative (-) pin: connect this pin to GND (0V)

ESP32 Code
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 below code and paste to Arduino IDE

#include "pitches.h"
#define BUZZZER_PIN 18 // ESP32 pin GIOP18 connected to piezo buzzer
int melody[] = {
NOTE_C4, NOTE_G3, NOTE_G3, NOTE_A3, NOTE_G3, 0, NOTE_B3, NOTE_C4
};
int noteDurations[] = {
4, 8, 8, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4
};
void setup() {
for (int thisNote = 0; thisNote < 8; thisNote++) {
int noteDuration = 1000 / noteDurations[thisNote];

int pauseBetweenNotes = noteDuration * 1.30;
delay(pauseBetweenNotes);

}
}

}
- Create the pitches.h file On Arduino IDE:
- Either click on the button just below the serial monitor icon and choose New Tab, or use Ctrl+Shift+N.
- Give file's name pitches.h and click OK button
- Copy the below code and paste it to that file.

- Compile and upload code to ESP32 board by clicking Upload button on Arduino IDE
- Listen to the melody
Modifying ESP32 Code
Lt's modidy the ESP32 code to play Jingle Bells song.
We only need to change value of two arrays: int melody[] and int noteDurations[].
