Output: the calculated sensor resistance
Remarks: The sensor and the load resistor forms a voltage divider. Given the voltage
across the load resistor and its resistance, the resistance of the sensor
could be derived.

Input: mq_pin - analog channel
Output: Ro of the sensor
Remarks: This function assumes that the sensor is in clean air. It use
MQResistanceCalculation to calculates the sensor resistance in clean air
and then divides it with RO_CLEAN_AIR_FACTOR. RO_CLEAN_AIR_FACTOR is about
10, which differs slightly between different sensors.

Input: mq_pin - analog channel
Output: Rs of the sensor
Remarks: This function use MQResistanceCalculation to caculate the sensor resistenc (Rs).
The Rs changes as the sensor is in the different consentration of the target
gas. The sample times and the time interval between samples could be configured
by changing the definition of the macros.

logarithmic coordinate, power of 10 is used to convert the result to non-logarithmic
