 * Battery saving:
 * 
 * GPS Board:   - Use EN Pin to turn of the board when not needed (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ultimate-gps/overview)
 *              - EN soll laut der Quelle auf GND gesetzt werden. Es dauert dann aber länger bis wieder ein Fix gefunden wurde.
 *              
 * 
 * Feather FONA:  - Cut the key trac on the bottom of the board (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather-32u4-fona/power-management)
 *                - If you want to depower the cell module, cut the KEY trace on the bottom of the board, wire KEY to an unused pad, 
 *                  and toggle the pin low for 100ms to completely turn on/off the module.
 *                - https://arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/54001/adafruit-feather-32u4-fona-key-pin
 *                  cut the trace and wire it to a micro controller pin
 *                - Key - this is by default tied to ground, cut the trace on the bottom and wire to a microcontroller pin to manually turn the module on and off. 
 *                  (Pulse low for a few seconds to change from on to off) This is the only way to truly disable the cellular module.
 *                
 *                
 * TODOS & BUGS:               
 *      - Die Ladeanzeige über die LED funktioniert nicht immer korrekt. Besonders gelbes Blinken (Aufladen) ist davon betroffen.
