Tinymovr Firmware v0.8.10

Changes:

• [feat] (One-shot read/write endpoints)[https://tinymovr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/guide.html#api-reference]
• [feat] VBus filtering of sensor readings
• [fix] Improve message if a Tinymovr is found but version is incompatible
• [test] One-shot endpoint tests

Notes

• UPDATE: tl;dr: Install like so:

pip install --no-deps tinymovr
pip install tinymovr

Apparently pip does not support installing from PyPi when there are other dependencies to the package outside PyPi itself. There is no warning when publishing the package and of course tox tests pass because the package is not fetched from PyPi. This has led to an issue where Studio cannot be installed because it depends on a forked version of python-can.
