Hi all,
I'm relatively new to coding and everything but I'm working on a project so when the accelerometer reaches 90g's the LED will turn on. I want the led to stay on for 5 minutes. Again, I'm new to coding and everything so take it easy on me. Feedback is very helpful!
Thanks!

int rawY = analogRead(A1);

if (micro_is_5V) // microcontroller runs off 5V
{
scaledX = mapf(rawX, 0, 675, -scale, scale); // 3.3/5 * 1023 =~ 675
scaledY = mapf(rawY, 0, 675, -scale, scale); // 3.3/5 * 1023 =~ 675
scaledZ = mapf(rawZ, 0, 675, -scale, scale); // 3.3/5 * 1023 =~ 675

Serial.print("X: "); Serial.print(scaledX); Serial.println(" g");
Serial.print("Y: "); Serial.print(scaledY); Serial.println(" g");
Serial.print("Z: "); Serial.print(scaledZ); Serial.println(" g");
if (rawX or rawY or raw Z>x) //if the accelerometer value in any direction is greater than the given amount
{
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); //LED on
}
