[SOLVED] Electron non-blocking connect for cellular network?

Hello there,

I have an Electron 2G (cellular) board, and was wondering if
it is possible to use Particle.connect() as non-blocking call somehow?

The problem is that the loop() won’t execute sometimes for minutes when the device is (re-)connecting. I’ve experimented with the semi-automatic mode and manual mode, as well as set the SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED) to no useful effect.

Any hints? Somebody succeeded in this?
Thanks!
