Arduino Logic Question

[cluelessgenius]

ok so im trying throw together a remote control for a wheel chair lift at my parents house without any specific knowledge about arduino BUT 

even still i have figured out how to read the values off of the 433mhz transmitters and also how to close the relays BUT

i can only allow one of 2 relays to be open at a time and it can oinly be open as long as the keyfob is pressed BUT

somehow my rudamentary code that i pasted together always shuts off both relays immediatly after opening them.

 

and im not that trained in thinking in a constant loop of code id love some help here

#include <RCSwitch.h>

RCSwitch mySwitch = RCSwitch();
const int Relay1Pin = 7;
const int Relay2Pin = 8;
const int UpSignal = 24433;
const int DownSignal = 26120;
int actualSignal = 0;
 
void setup() 
{
  pinMode(Relay1Pin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(Relay2Pin, OUTPUT);
  
  Serial.begin(9600);
  mySwitch.enableReceive(0);  // Empfänger ist an Interrupt-Pin "0" - Das ist am UNO der Pin2
}

void loop() {
  actualSignal = 0;
  if (mySwitch.available()) // Wenn ein Code Empfangen wird...
  {
    int value = mySwitch.getReceivedValue(); // Empfangene Daten werden unter der Variable "value" gespeichert.
  
    if (value == 0) // Wenn die Empfangenen Daten "0" sind, wird "Unbekannter Code" angezeigt.
    {
      Serial.println("Unbekannter Code");
    } 
    else // Wenn der Empfangene Code brauchbar ist, wird er hier an den Serial Monitor gesendet.
    {
      Serial.print("Empfangen: ");
      actualSignal = mySwitch.getReceivedValue();
      Serial.println( actualSignal );
    }
    mySwitch.resetAvailable(); // Hier wird der Empfänger "resettet"
  }
  if(actualSignal==UpSignal)
  {
    digitalWrite(Relay2Pin, LOW);
    Serial.println( "Relay2Pin LOW" );
    //delay(1000);
    digitalWrite(Relay1Pin, HIGH);
    Serial.println( "Relay1Pin HIGH" );
  }
  else if(actualSignal==DownSignal)
  {
    digitalWrite(Relay1Pin, LOW);
    Serial.println( "Relay1Pin LOW" );
    //delay(1000);
    digitalWrite(Relay2Pin, HIGH);
    Serial.println( "Relay2Pin HIGH" );
  }
  else if((digitalRead(Relay1Pin)==HIGH || digitalRead(Relay2Pin)==HIGH) && actualSignal!=UpSignal && actualSignal!=DownSignal)
  {
      Serial.print("Empfangen: ");
      Serial.println( actualSignal );
    digitalWrite(Relay1Pin, LOW);
    Serial.println( "Relay1Pin LOW" );
    digitalWrite(Relay2Pin, LOW);
    Serial.println( "Relay2Pin LOW" );
  }
}

What you need is a while.. do loop for the button press. While <button is pressed>, do<activate corresponding relay>. You may need the loop twice (separate for each button).

 

HTH!
