how do i make motors run for a set amount of time

Projects Programming

it did not help because my motor is off than turns on in 5 seconds turns of in another 5 seconds and repeats this. I want the motor to run for an amount than stop. I have wrote the code using that example. I see the relevance to my problem to some extent. I don t want it to turn on off. I want it to turn on right away and run for a period of time than turn off permanently.

const unsigned X_AXIS_PIN = 0;
const unsigned Y_AXIS_PIN = 1;
const unsigned Z_AXIS_PIN = 2;
const int motor1 = 3;
const int motor2 = 5;
const int motor3 = 10;
int motorState = LOW;
long previousMillis = 0;
long interval = 5000;


void setup() 
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(motor1, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(motor2, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(motor3, OUTPUT);

}

  int x,
      y,
      z;
      
void loop()
{
    Serial.print(analogRead(X_AXIS_PIN));
    Serial.print(" ");
    x = analogRead(X_AXIS_PIN);
    Serial.print(analogRead(Y_AXIS_PIN));
    Serial.print(" ");
    y = analogRead(Y_AXIS_PIN);
    Serial.println(analogRead(Z_AXIS_PIN));
    z = analogRead(Z_AXIS_PIN);
    delay(5000);
      
    if( x < 700 && y < 700 && z < 700)
     {
        unsigned long currentMillis = millis();
        if(currentMillis - previousMillis > interval) 
        previousMillis = currentMillis;
        if (motorState == LOW)
        motorState = HIGH;
        else
        motorState = LOW ;
        
        digitalWrite(motor1, motorState);
        digitalWrite(motor2, motorState);
        digitalWrite(motor3, motorState);
     }
     
     
}
