Add no-ack packet type #9

Open haata opened 4 years ago

haata commented 4 years ago

Add a new data packet type "Data No-ack".

This packet does not receive an ACK.

Packet does not receive an ACK from the receiver
Sender may preempt queue if delayed due to waiting for an ACK
No continued packets (at least not yet, would require a new type)
Use type b101
No response is sent by the receiver (if not supported receiver can ignore this packet type for any number of packet ids)

This will work well for

HID events (mouse, keyboard, joystick)
LED events (frame data)
CLI events (much smoother output)

Cons

Receiver may become overwhelmed and drop packets
Likely fewer supported packet ids
No response information
