Although the data sheet doesn't specify this clearly, the value from the ADC is actually a signed 24-bit integer value. However, the existing implementation wasn't handling the sign of this value correctly leading to overflow if the weight on the load cell ended up being less than the value during power up. Unfortunately, fixing this issue is not as simple as casting the
uint32_tused to store the value from the ADC into aint32_t. My change fixes the code with the proper bit manipulations to handle the sign of the value from the ADC correctly throughout the library.
