  • If I remove static declaration, it doesn't compile in local function. I've tried to declare HTML1[] and HTML2[] out of the function without static declaration, but the error is the same. Commented Nov 21, 2019 at 19:16
  • I still have memory, I'm only using (42%) of 81Kbytes. So I'm working without PROGMEM and it works like bellow: String HTML2 = R"=====( <button type='button' onclick='sendData(2)'>Test2</button> )====="; Commented Nov 21, 2019 at 21:00

See Guide to PROGMEM on ESP8266 and Arduino IDE.

Since you put your char array into PROGMEM, special functions must be used to load it from flash into RAM; so to load it into a String object, the FlashHelper class must be used. You can simply use the macro FPSTR(progmem_ptr). 

#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);
    Serial.println("\nStart firmware");

    static const char HTML1[] PROGMEM = R"=====(
    <!DOCTYPE HTML><html><head>
    <meta charset='utf-8' name='viewport' content='width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=0'>
    )=====";

    static const char HTML2[] PROGMEM = R"=====(
    <button type='button' onclick='sendData(2)'>Test2</button>
    )=====";

    String html_return = HTML1;
    html_return += "<button type='button' onclick='sendData(1)'>Test</button>";
    Serial.println("Before Second Const Char");
    //html_return += HTML2; //crashes
    html_return += FPSTR(HTML2); //works
    Serial.println("Result");
    Serial.println(html_return);
}

void loop() {

}

Outputs

Start firmware
Before Second Const Char
Result

        <!DOCTYPE HTML><html><head>
        <meta charset='utf-8' name='viewport' content='width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=0'>
        <button type='button' onclick='sendData(1)'>Test</button>
        <button type='button' onclick='sendData(2)'>Test2</button>

  • FPSTR macro casts the type and so forces the use of the right + operator for a PROGMEM string. It is the same as html_return += F("some text stored in progmem"); Commented Nov 22, 2019 at 6:05
  • Dear Maximilian, thank you for the detailed answer, works very well. Saved my ESP memory! Commented Nov 23, 2019 at 13:38
