No Status Light On Elev-8

I just finished building my quadcopter and am very excited to get it up and flying. But i ran into a snag. Now that everything is connected im not getting any response from the Hoverfly open board. No flash, blink, or blurp. All of the motors and ESC worked when i set the max and min throttle (connected individually to the throttle channel of the RC receiver) and i have double checked the connections. The only response from the system is a constant beep from the ESC about every 2 secs. I believe this is them waiting for them to be initialized, right? I am new to everything RC so you will have to bear with me with me, but i am very determined and relatively tech savy (teach engineering and robotics)

Controller: Turnigy 9x

While i dont believe this to be the problem, i am having trouble understanding what the "gear" is and how it can be reversed, there is a switch? As well as setting all of my trims.

Thanks for the help,
Adam Brunner

P.S. - If i can figure all of this out i am going to try and bring quadcopters into my robotics class next year. Seems like a fantastic platform!
