Glad you got it working.
To clarify, I did not use the 4.7 kΩ resistor provided with the kit. Instead, I installed the following:
External Pull-Up of 3 - 10K resistors in parallel to provide 3.3 kΩ or 10k || 10k || 10k -> 3.33 kΩ
My goal (and others) was to limit the current flow to the pin to approximately 1 mA.
For a 3.3V device:
4.7 kΩ would be under this limit by roughly .3 mA while
4.7k || 3.3k -> 1.93 kΩ would be over by about .7 mA.
