This change does truncate the averaged ED to integers, but I don't think the precision matters here because radio noise is not exact, we are only interested in seeing which channels are occupied. |

Looks good code-wise, but also the output changed considerably: i.e. the values are more wide-spread. On master its mostly blue-ish but with this PR it get yellow and green, too. Which I think is good because it makes differences more visible.
Btw. I tested with samr21-xpro, everything still works - with these IMHO good visual enhancements.

This should be int32_t

Experiments show that using ldexpf, ilogbf yields significantly faster run time performance on Cortex-M0+ without floating point hardware.
