HOW To Make Sounds With ESP32?

Overview

In this kit, it contains an active buzzer module and a power amplifier module (the principle is equivalent to a passive buzzer). In this experiment, we control the active buzzer to emit sounds. Since it has its own oscillating circuit, the buzzer will automatically sound if given large voltage.

Working Principle

From the schematic diagram, the pin of buzzer is connected to a resistor R2 and another port is linked with a NPN triode Q1. So, if this triode Q1 is powered, the buzzer will sound.

If the base electrode of the triode connected to the R1 resistor is a high level, the triode Q1 will be connected.If the base electrode is pulled down by the resistor R3, the triode is disconnected.

When we output a high level from the IO port to the triode, the buzzer will emit sounds; if outputting low levels, the buzzer won’t emit sounds.

int buzzer = 15; //Define buzzer receiver pin GPIO15
void setup() {
  pinMode(buzzer, OUTPUT);//Set the output mode
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(buzzer, HIGH); //sound production
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(buzzer, LOW); //Stop the sound
  delay(1000);
}

Code Explanation

In the experiment, we set the pin to GPIO15. When setting to high, the active buzzer will beep; when setting to low, the active buzzer will stop emitting sounds.

Test Result

Connect the wires according to the experimental wiring diagram, compile and upload the code to the ESP32. After uploading successfully，we will use a USB cable to power on. The active buzzer will emit sound for 1 second, and stop for 1 second.
