I am far from an expert, but giving it a try anyways :stuck_out_tongue:

int ledPin =  13;    // LED connected to digital pin 13

void setup() {                
  // initialize the digital pin as an output:
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);     
}


void loop() {
  int analogVal = analogRead(somePin);
  if(analogVal > someRandomNumber) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);   // set the LED on
    delay(1000);                  // wait for a second
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);    // set the LED off
    delay(1000);                  // wait for a second
  }  
}
