Network api extended

Everything should be in network byte order.

Request exit (E_NETWORK_PACKET_EXIT)

0x02 (a single byte)

No response

Set current configuration settings (E_NETWORK_PACKET_SETCONFIG)

byte	value
0	0x03
1-4	sensibility (float)
5-6	dead zone X (signed int_16bits)
7-8	dead zone Y (signed int_16bits)

Some special values are used to signal for no modification for a specific setting:

• Negative values for sensibility
• 32767 (INT16_MAX) for dead zone

No response

Example code (python)
