 * Rough Sketch for Sentiments Box
 * modified code by Jonathan Bobrow
 * updated 1.10.2023
 *
 * Goals:
 * 1. Avoid using an arbitrary number for triggering the sensor
 *    Solution: remove noise from the sensor and make it adapt to it's environment
 *              by keeping a running average and then comparing the last value or N values to the average
 * 2. Remove dependencies on delays

   Blinks Dev-Kit
   Validation Test for Dev Kit Blinks

   4 modes for testing
   1. Verify RGB on all 6 faces together
   2. Verify RGB on each of the 6 faces individually
   3. Verify communication w/ awake neighbors
   4. Verify cold sleep (<0.2µA)
