+  Demonstrate how to log NMEA and UBX data simultaneously
+  By: Paul Clark
+  SparkFun Electronics
+  Date: April 13th, 2021
+  License: MIT. See license file for more information but you can
+  basically do whatever you want with this code.
+
+  This example shows how to configure the u-blox GNSS to send PVT reports automatically
+  and log those and any incoming NMEA messages to SD card in UBX format
+
+  ** Please note: this example will only work on processors like the Artemis which have plenty of RAM available **
+
+  This code is intended to be run on the MicroMod Data Logging Carrier Board using the Artemis Processor
+  but can be adapted by changing the chip select pin and SPI definitions:
+  https://www.sparkfun.com/products/16829
+  https://www.sparkfun.com/products/16401
+
+  Hardware Connections:
+  Please see: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/micromod-data-logging-carrier-board-hookup-guide
+  Insert the Artemis Processor into the MicroMod Data Logging Carrier Board and secure with the screw.
+  Connect your GNSS breakout to the Carrier Board using a Qwiic cable.
+  Connect an antenna to your GNSS board if required.
+  Insert a formatted micro-SD card into the socket on the Carrier Board.
+  Connect the Carrier Board to your computer using a USB-C cable.
+  Ensure you have the SparkFun Apollo3 boards installed: http://boardsmanager/All#SparkFun_Apollo3
+  This code has been tested using version 1.2.1 of the Apollo3 boards on Arduino IDE 1.8.13.
+  Select "SparkFun Artemis MicroMod" as the board type.
+  Press upload to upload the code onto the Artemis.
+  Open the Serial Monitor at 115200 baud to see the output.
+
+  To minimise I2C bus errors, it is a good idea to open the I2C pull-up split pad links on
+  both the MicroMod Data Logging Carrier Board and the u-blox module breakout.
+
+  Feel like supporting open source hardware?
