Flotilla Windows Installer

This installer for Flotilla has been tested in Windows 10, it packages up our Flotilla Daemon with the latest and greatest version of Rockpool. After installing, on Windows 10 you should be able to plug in your Flotilla Dock and get up and running right away.

On Windows 7 and 8 you might have problems, and I’m keen for any feedback in this respect- these versions of Windows don’t handle standard USB serial devices well by default, and may require additional drivers.

Hi, I’m exploring flotilla on windows, it works me well on windows 10 but on windows 7 i couldn’t find the drivers i wonder if is there a plan for work on that.

Update: I used the universal driver here: https://github.com/pimoroni/flotilla-pre and now is working.
