Customer:
I noticed that it’s necessary to press the POWER button on the Inkplate 5V2 for it to start. How can I make it so that it starts automatically by default as soon as it’s plugged in?

Soldered Support:
You can make the device start automatically by soldering a 0-ohm resistor (or jumper wire) to the pads highlighted in the attached image.
Important: Once this jumper is in place, the device can no longer be turned off using the power button. To restore normal functionality, you’ll need to desolder the jumper.
