Herewith, to nail down the reasons why you can’t (or, perhaps, shouldn’t) use Arduino float variables, a small collection of DDS-oid calculations.

Remember that float and double variable are both IEEE 754 single-precision floating point numbers:

Size of float: 4
       double: 4

The Arduino floating-point formatter gags on some values, although they calculate correctly:

2^24: 16777216.000
printf:        ?
2^32: ovf or ovf
2^32: ovf
2^32 / 256: 16777216.000

Don’t add values differing by more than seven orders of magnitude and suspect any results beyond the first half-dozen significant figures:
