+  Powering off a ublox GPS module
+  By: bjorn
+  unsurv.org
+  Date: July 20th, 2020
+  License: MIT. See license file for more information but you can
+  basically do whatever you want with this code.
+
+  This example shows you how to turn off the ublox module to lower the power consumption.
+  There are two functions: one just specifies a duration in milliseconds the other also specifies a pin on the GPS device to wake it up with.
+  By driving a voltage from LOW to HIGH or HIGH to LOW on the chosen module pin you wake the device back up.
+  Note: Doing so on the INT0 pin when using the regular powerOff(durationInMs) function will wake the device anyway. (tested on SAM-M8Q)
+  Note: While powered off, you should not query the device for data or it might wake up. This can be used to wake the device but is not recommended.
+        Works best when also putting your microcontroller to sleep.
+
+  Feel like supporting open source hardware?
+  Buy a board from SparkFun!

+  NEO-M8P RTK: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15005
+  SAM-M8Q: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15106
+
+  Hardware Connections:
+  Plug a Qwiic cable into the GPS and a BlackBoard.
+  To force the device to wake up you need to connect to a pin (for example INT0) seperately on the module.
+  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
