Hi rgsteele, Thanks for replying . You were right as soon as I removed the delay() function i got something working. However it is not working as expected... wanna cry lol I have been trying several things but the only way I got it working is with two if statements. The result is quite curious.. when the first condition is found the led goes on red as soon as the other condition is found the led goes green but the when the first condition is found again the led goes on yellow and green... to me it look like that the output and the loop() is not aligned.. I put the code just in case you have some spare time to have a look at it. Thanks for helping. That was better than nothing.

Hi All, I am pretty new of all these things but very keen to learn . I do apologise if my topic might look boring but actually for me is a challenge. I recently installed a nano arduino connected to an GY-521. I manage to install the proper library and the teapot example works spot on. Now, I would like to connect a led that goes off when the board is flat, but starts blinking when a certain roll or pitch is detected. I tried to add a simple if ( ypr[1] < y && ypr[1] > y ) but i only get overflow FIFO message back. Any help how to overcome this scaring message? Thanks for helping. G
