Autostart print from SD Card?

Hi all,
i'm looking for a way to make a printer automaticaly start printing once it is powered up.
It should just read a file from the SD and process it.
I'm currently using Marlin and it would be nice if there is a solution with that, but i'm open for other options as well.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Björn

I think if it finds a file on the SD card called auto0.g it will run it automatically. Once it has done that it will look for auto1.g, etc. I have never tried it.

This is great, thank you!

I use auto0.g to autostart the hotbed & extruder-- comes in handy while tweaking around with the firmware, reboots were frigid, brrr.

Now I do not have to poke around thru marlin ui after rebuilds, the hotties automatically return to hotness !!

yippee for improved shake rattle and roll
