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... marius.

You can get twice better worst case by using values ranging from -1 to +1 (because 1 is a power of two, so it lies at the boundary of a new precision level)
There was also a mistake in saying that. It improves precision, but only by a factor of 180/128.
