      I'm trying to put the GPS in standby mode using the PMTK command specified in the documentations, but everytime the command is executed: I get an I2C bus error, which I don't understand why.
      Wipy3.0
      Pytrack:

      • hw_version 3
      • fw_version 8
      • product_id 61459
      • firmware: v0.0.8

      Is this a bug? Anybody else who experienced the same problem?

      def gpsStandby(self):
              print('Sending standby cmd to gps...')
              standby = "$PMTK161,0*28\r\n"
              self.i2c.writeto(GPS_I2CADDR, standby)
              time.sleep(0.2)

        Once the GPS module goes into standby the i2c stops working, you can no longer wake it up via i2c, all you can do is a reset via the pytracks deep sleep function.
