  Getting the time and date in your timezone using Ublox commands

  basically do whatever you want with this code.

  This is a modified example that 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!

  Additionally, this code has the option to adjust the UTC date and time. The time is adjusted by manually
  entering your time zone's offset. The Daylight Savings Time is automatically calculated with the help of
  Nathan Seidle's Daylight Savings Time example [ https://github.com/nseidle/Daylight_Savings_Time_Example ].
  However, if your country does not observe DST, you can override it with the `enableDST` variable.

  The output on the Qwiic SerLCD is just digital. Depending on personal preference, you can view
  the time in regular 12-hour format or miltary 24-hour format.

  Hardware Connections:
  Plug a Qwiic cable into the GPS, Qwiic SerLCD, and the RedBoard Qwiic.
  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.
