Making a pull down resistor with this breakout board

Mon Dec 28, 2015 12:44 am

So, for Christmas I got a Raspberry Pi, and am trying to make a basic shutdown button on a breadboard.. The only problem is that all the models I see show this done with a different kind of breakout board. I have this one.

So, since I have seen most pull down resistors
A) Use the positive/negative parts of the breadboard, which I can only do to make them connect to either 3V3 power or 5V power, and
B) Use 1kOhm resistors(which I do not currently have)

I was wondering if an external pull down resistor was possible for me at the moment?
