The tutorial on the project calls for a 5k resistor.

Is that a 1/4 watt? Or is it higher wattage?

You can see the others are low wattage.

You can calculate the wattage you need. Use Watt's Law. Then choose the appropriately rated resistor.

P = I^2 * R

For example, let's say you are using a 5KOhm resistor with 5Volts DC.

Ohm's law says the current is:

I = E/R
I = 5/5000
I = 1 mA

So, the appropriate Watt rating for the resistor has to be:

P = .001^2 * 5000
P = .005 Watts.

A 1/8th Watt Resistor would be more than adequate.

Thanks BobaMosfet. Excellent tutorial.

I ordered the display and the chip yesterday, so I want to nail this down as best I can.
