  Getting time and date using Ublox commands

  License: MIT. See license file for more information but you can
  basically do whatever you want with this code.

  This example shows how to query a Ublox module for the current time and date. We also
  turn off the NMEA output on the I2C port. This decreases the amount of I2C traffic
  dramatically.

  Leave NMEA parsing behind. Now you can simply ask the module for the datums you want!

  Feel like supporting open source hardware?

  Hardware Connections:
  Plug a Qwiic cable into the GPS and a BlackBoard
  If you don't have a platform with a Qwiic connection use the SparkFun Qwiic Breadboard Jumper (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14425)
  Open the serial monitor at 115200 baud to see the output
