* Support for a current sensor (Hall effect sensor like ACS712) for measure the power consumption
* Since it's more simple to deal with, we measure the DC current and we assume that POWER_VOLTAGE that comes from your power supply it's almost stable.
* You have to change the SENSITIVITY with the one that you can find in the datasheet. (in case of ACS712: set to .100 for 20A version or set .066 for 30A version)
* With this module we measure the Printer power consumption ignoring the Power Supply power consumption, so we consider the EFFICIENCY of our supply to be 100% so without
* any power dispersion. If you want to approximately add the supply consumption you can decrease the EFFICIENCY to a value less than 100. Eg: 85 is a good value.
* You can find a better value measuring the AC current with a good multimeter and moltiple it with the mains voltage.
* MULTIMETER_WATT := MULTIMETER_CURRENT*MAINS_VOLTAGE
* Now you have a Wattage value that you can compare with the one measured from ACS712.
* NEW_EFFICENCY := (SENSOR_WATT*EFFICIENCY)/MULTIMETER_WATT
* For now this feature is to be consider BETA as i'll have to do some accurate test to see the affidability
