GT2560 and LCD2864

I bought a printer kit from Hoyi Sunway a K200 delta and had to replace the board immediately. I choose to use a Geeetech GT2560 since it actually had documentation. Also bought a Geetech LCD2864 to replace the spotty 2004A that came with the kit. The LCD turns on but with no info or text displayed. Uncommenting #define reprap full graphics smart controller in Marlin won't allow the code to compile. Am I trying to join components which are not compatible? And, will the GT2560 even work for a Delta printer?

OK my apologies. While I am experienced with technology, this is my first printer. I figured out the LCD display issue but I am still working on getting all the previous printers parts to work with the new board. The old printer used 2 pin/2 wire endstops on top of the towers, but the GT2560 seems to want a three wire version. I ordered a set of Geeetech endstops but would like to know the correct part number for this application as the old 2 wire ones don't appear to be working properly and I am not certain if the ones that are on-route are correct. Of course, I still need to know if the GT2560 will drive a delta printer?
