Newbie needs help connecting Gen3 to computer

Hi all,

I've built a Prusa Mendel with Gen3 electronics. The only thing lacking as of yet is the hot end and thermistor.

I wanted to check if I've hooked everything up ok, so I've connected it to my MacBook running ReplicatorG.
I can connect the usb through port: /dev/tty.usbserial-FTF7K1WO. It also seems to be able to upload the firmware properly.
However, after that it only keeps repeating the same message: ''GCode sent. Waiting for response'' and on the motherboard, the red led keeps flashing 5 times.

Does someone know what this means, or can someone point me in the direction of a clear guide to setting up Gen3 electronics. Thanks a bunch.
