/* Reading the protocol version of a u-blox module By: Nathan Seidle SparkFun Electronics Date: January 3rd, 2019 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 its protocol version. Note: this may fail on boards like the UNO (ATmega328P) with modules like the ZED-F9P because getProtocolVersion returns a lot of data - more than the UNO's serial buffer can hold Various modules have various protocol version. We've seen v18 up to v27. Depending on the protocol version there are different commands available. This is a handy way to predict which commands will or won't work. Leave NMEA parsing behind. Now you can simply ask the module for the datums you want! Feel like supporting open source hardware? Buy a board from SparkFun!
