Re: [avr-chat] format '%5.2f' expects type 'double', but argument 6 has type 'float'

Oops, sorry, meant to reply to the list, too.

Really? Interesting. I consider explicitly typing out the default behavior to 
be a prime example of messy. You don't gain anything by having it in the code 
(there's no readability improvement); in fact, it clutters the code.

But, I guess there's not much that can be done about it. Thanks for the info.
