+  Configuring the GNSS to produce multiple messages at different rates
+  By: Paul Clark
+  SparkFun Electronics
+  Date: April 1st, 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 output multiple messages at different rates:
+  PVT is output once per measurement;
+  POS_ECEF is output every second measurement;
+  VEL_NED is output every third measurement.
+
+  Feel like supporting open source hardware?
+  Buy a board from SparkFun!
+  ZED-F9P RTK2: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15136
+  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 GNSS 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
