Monitor machine shop floor, send data via MQTT, and issue warnings
/*
 * Project SafetyWarning
 * Description: Detects sound and particulates in the air. If unsafe levels of either
 * are present, warning lights will display so residents in the work area know
 * to wear the appropriate safety gear.
 * 
 * The system will also send data to an Adafruit dashboard to track sound / particulate levels and warning events
