The device sends hi-res values of 4, so it should end up as REL_WHEEL_HI_RES 30. We are getting 28 instead which doesn't add up to a nice 120.
I think you're just doing the math in the wrong order.
Why don't you just do
update = val * 120 / multiplier
which gives you the expected "30".
It seems you have done the "120 / multiplier" too early, and you force
that value into "wheel_factor". Don't. Do all the calculations
(including all the accumulated ones) in the original values, and only
do the "multiply by 120 and divide by multiplier" at the very end.
Hmm?
