    The Arduino print function defaults to two decimal places for a float.  Normally, if you were using Serial.print(float) you could control the decimal places with Serial.print(float, decimalPlaces).  But because of the way the MS_DBG macro is written, that won’t work.  You’ll have to create a String from the number and then MS_DBG that:  MS_DBG(String(float, decimalPlaces));
