/***************************  MQRead *******************************************
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.

/***************************  MQGetGasPercentage ********************************
Input:   rs_ro_ratio -  Rs divided by Ro
         gas_id      - target gas type
Output:  ppm of the  target gas
Remarks: This function passes different curves to the MQGetPercentage  function which 
         calculates the ppm (parts per million) of the target  gas.

/***************************  MQGetPercentage  ********************************
Input:   rs_ro_ratio - Rs divided by Ro
         pcurve      - pointer to the curve of the target gas
Output:  ppm of  the target gas
Remarks: By using the slope and a point of the line. The x(logarithmic  value of ppm) 
         of the line could be derived if y(rs_ro_ratio) is provided.  As it is a 
         logarithmic coordinate, power of 10 is used to convert the  result to non-logarithmic 
         value.

{
  return (pow(10,(  ((log(rs_ro_ratio)-pcurve[1])/pcurve[2]) + pcurve[0])));
