/*
50A Current Sensor(AC/DC)(SKU:SEN0098) Sample Code
This code shows you how to get raw datas from the sensor through Arduino and convert the raw datas to the value of the current according to the datasheet;
Smoothing algorithm (http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Smoothing) is used to make the outputting current value more reliable;
