Doesn't work with Windows

Hi,

I am trying to run the script on Window 11 Pro and Instax Wide.

It structed at send_packet(). The log in terminal as follows:

Searching for instax printer...
Connecting to INSTAX-20089434(IOS) [fa:ab:bc:57:8c:53]

Not sure what is happening here; where does the 'sleep' message come from? Please post the actual script you're running, thanks.

Also having an issue running on Windows 11. I couldn't install the dependencies of simplepyble for the suggested version 0.6.2.dev2 so I updated it to 0.7.3. Now when I run InstaxBLE.py, it runs into a segmentation fault after it sends the first packet to the mini link.

I imported faulthandler and enabled it before the instax.connect() on the main function. I've also modified send_packet to print some information:

def send_packet(self, packet):
    """ Send a packet to the printer """
    # ...
    print("send_packet", packet, "waiting for response", self.waitingForResponse)
    while self.waitingForResponse and not self.dummyPrinter and not self.cancelled:
        self.log("sleep")
        sleep(0.05)
    # ...

This is the result:

Let me know if you need any more information. Would love to find a way to make this work!
