PI-STAR mobile Free Hotspot
My solution for using pi-star at mobile FREE wifi mobile hotspots while travelling
Understood when travelling and maybe using free wifi to connect a hotspot.
Outlined is an example of how to transfer the "wpa_supplicant.conf" file with wifi setting onto a SDcard and moved to the hotspot device. To activate that device on free wifi ie.coffee shop.
From the pi-star website. visit the link enter the details of the hotspot and download the file to be stored on the SDcard and transfer to the pi-star device [RaspberryPI, Pi-zero]

Pi-Star WiFi Builder
This tool is used to create your "wpa_supplicant.conf" for use with Pi-Star.
All you need to do is enter your SSID (this is the name of your Wireless Network) and
the matching PSK (this is the Pre-Shared Key, or Password) for this network, when you
hit "Submit" the generated config file will download to your computer.
If you require a config to connect to any available open network, leave the SSID and PSK
lines empty, the generated config will allow your Pi to connect to any available open network.
All you need to do then, is drop this onto the "Boot" volume of your Pi-Star SDcard - this will appear as you complete writing the SD Card.
Once the Pi-Star system boots up, it will add the config file for the WiFi and reboot.
