Need help with load cell brake

I'm trying to build a racing sim. I have two pots--one for steering and one for accelerator. I'm using a load cell for the brake. The load cell is using a HX711 and all this is wired to an Arduino Leonardo. Here is the program for the Arduino.

Code:

// https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary/tree/version-2.0

#include <Joystick.h>
#include <Q2HX711.h>
Q2HX711 hx711(A4, A5);

Joystick_ Joystick(JOYSTICK_DEFAULT_REPORT_ID, JOYSTICK_TYPE_JOYSTICK, 1, 0,
                   false, false, false,  // axis x, y, z
                   false, false, false,  // rotate rx, ry, rx,
                   false, false,         // rudder, throttle,
                   true, true, true);    // accel, brake, steering);

const int button_pin = 2;
int button_value = 0;

int steeringPin = A1;
int gasPin = A0;
int steeringValue = 0;
int gasValue = 0;

int brakeValue = 0;


void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Joystick.begin();

  pinMode(button_pin, INPUT_PULLUP);
}

void loop() {

  steeringValue = analogRead(steeringPin);
  gasValue = analogRead(gasPin) * -1 + 850;
  brakeValue = hx711.read() / 1000;

  Serial.write("Brake is ");
  Serial.println(brakeValue);
//  Serial.write("Gas is ");
//  Serial.println(gasValue);
//  Serial.write("Steering is ");
//  Serial.println(steeringValue);

  //Controller assignments
  Joystick.setBrake(brakeValue);
  Joystick.setSteering(steeringValue);
  Joystick.setAccelerator(gasValue);

  button_value = !digitalRead(button_pin);
  Joystick.setButton(0, button_value);

  delay(200);
}

Now here is what I don't understand. The gas and steering are fine, but I have an issue with the brake. The brakeValue will print to the serial monitor but it will not show up in Windows game controller settings. To be more clear I go to "Devices and printers" and then choose the Arduino. I open 'game controller settings' and try to calibrate it. When I get to the brake callibration part, if I check 'show raw data' there is none. But I can have the Arduino software open at the same time so I can view the monitor or plotter and it will show that brakeValue is changing.

I'm pretty lost. Any help at all getting this working will be appreciated.

I think it might be because hx711.read() returns a long (32 bit) int but brakeValue is only 16 bit.
I can't remember how to fix that.
It might be worth trying this guy's code, it looks like he's using a different hx711 library https://github.com/MauriceRowe/USB-Sim-Racing-Pedals-with-Load-Cell/

Thanks. I went to look at the return type and stumbled across the problem. There's a setBrakeRange that defaults to a certain min and max. My readings were out of range. So I used that function and set the range to what I needed and BINGO!
