+  Getting leap second event info as SNTP Leap Indicator, time to a leap second event and the number of leap seconds since GPS epoch
+  By: UT2UH
+  Date: April 14th, 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 query a u-blox module for the leap second event info to cast to SNTP Leap Indicator enumeration.
+  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?
