Here are two useful links for understanding delta kinematics:

Online calculator based on above equations:

I seem to recall that the labels for the dimensions in the calculator are a little misleading, so be sure to double check the drawings in the first link.
Here's where you can enter those parameters into my modified marlin code on github (originally modified from an early version of the firepick-delta firmware). Starting around line 198 in Configurations.h:
#define DELTA_E 50.8//172.0//131.636 // End effector length
#define DELTA_F 158.3//152.4//81.4//190.526 // Base length
#define DELTA_RE 163.5//114.5//270.000 // Carbon rod length
#define DELTA_RF 50.8//77.0//86.000 // Servo horn length
The un-commented values above are the dimensions used on this printer (in mm).
