The instructions call for a 5k ohm resistor and I believe this is what I used in my set up with good effect. A 4.7k ohm resistor is probably fine though. I purchased a set a resistors from Amazon for about $14 and it came with all sorts of resistors of different values, around 30 total.

Here is the package I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09PLNPX3P

The resistor legs should be bent at 90 degrees and pushed into the corresponding pin receptacles as shown in the pictures.
