Time value error during cold boot

Troubleshooting
14

OK, I put together a test code to prove the Spark.connected() does not indicate that I could use the TCPClient.
I have to put the delay(5000); otherwise it will failed. Initially I use serial before and it sometimes OK, this is because when u open the terminal, it may pass 5 seconds already.
Also, I disable the last case which use WiFi.Ping, after this is called, all Spark Cloud access will failed. The IP is "spark.io"

Call the function during setup() will able to show the result.

void CloudConnectCheck (void)
{
TCPClient client; // Client
int i;
unsigned long t1;

t1 = millis();                          // Get system time in ms
pinMode(D5, INPUT);                     // D5 - TEST pin
if (digitalRead(D5)==HIGH)
{
    pinMode(D0,OUTPUT);                 // D0
    pinMode(D1,OUTPUT);                 // D1
    pinMode(D2,OUTPUT);                 // D1
    digitalWrite(D0, LOW);              // Turn OFF
    digitalWrite(D1, LOW);              // Turn OFF
    digitalWrite(D2, LOW);              // Turn OFF

#if 1
while (Spark.connected()==false)
{
SPARK_WLAN_Loop(); // Wait
if ((millis()-t1) > 60000) // Check for 60 seconds max
{
digitalWrite(D0, HIGH); // Turn ON
break; //
}
}
#endif
#if 1
if ((millis()-t1) < 60000) // Check for 60 seconds max
{
delay(5000); //***** Without delay does not work
if (client.connect("api.wunderground.com", 80)==true)
digitalWrite(D1, HIGH); // Turn ON - OK
else
digitalWrite(D2, HIGH); // Turn ON

        client.flush();
        client.stop();
    }

**#endif
#if 0
//
if ((millis()-t1) < 60000) // Check for 60 seconds max
{
IPAddress remoteIP={62,116,130,8};
i = WiFi.ping(remoteIP); // TCP check
if (i) // Yes
digitalWrite(D1, HIGH); // Turn ON - OK
else
digitalWrite(D2, HIGH); // Turn ON
}
#endif
