WIth a simple loop test on the Photon runs almost 1000 loops per second.
The analog input can only measure up to 3.3 volts. The current sensor is rated at 5 volts.
There are internal pullup and pulldown resistors. It did not work as a pulldown for me but i found some documentation saying it works better as a pullup.
You can monitor the serial port on the mac by issuing the command:
screen /dev/tty.usbmodem1421 9600
To exit the serial connection type Ctrl + A + \
