Detect negative and/or invalid weights #12

Using the current protocol/code we can only detect positive weights. It would be nice to detect negative weights or weights that are too large/small to make sense and signal that something is wrong.

Today (2014-10-31) someone pressed the tare button and threw off the scale so it thought a pot that still had three cups in it was only ~800 grams. This is also something that we could detect and use to signal that something is wrong.

This may require some reverse engineering of the scale protocol.
