[marius schebella]

for now, I am ok with a precision of 1cm.
but what is highest positive integer number I can represent with the 
current pd float precision? 16bit? 32.767? (btw., would be nice to have 
this information in the float/number helppatch)
that would only give me a precision of around 3.4 meters...
