Hi

This is a beginner problem.
I don't know how to compare these 2 types.
I got overload error when trying to compare

1

if keypad(1) = 1 then 

2

next_state <= 1;

keypad is a bit_vector(9 downto 0).

keypad(1) = '1'

beim ganzen Keypad wäre es dann

keypad = "xxxxxxxxxx" wobei x entweder eine 1 oder eine 0 sein kann. 
Also einzelne Bitwerte in ' ' und mehrere in " ".

thanks, I saw my error.
But my program won't work still.

I added it into the attachment.

Sorry for the german ...

Ok you wrote

when 0 =>
  if input = "0000000001" then
  next_state <= 1;
  else
        next_state <= 0;
  end if;

so it depends on the input - how ist the input connected? How long is 
the input provided? I mean, if the input is only for a very short time 
not 0, then it is most of the time 0. And then your next_state = 2 and 
also current_state, because current_state is updated every clock.

Edit:
The process depends on current_state and input.

So if we step along, say current_state=0 and input= "0000000001" then 
the process assigns next_state to 1.
BUT: in the next clockcycle, current_state is updated to next_state, in 
this case to 1.
Because current_state ist updated, the process runs again and now with 
input still "0000000001" it goes to

when 1 =>
and because input is not "0000000000" the next_state = 0.

And so on. Now current_state is updated to 0 and it begins again even if 
the input doesn't change.

I don't know if it helps, but i would test if it works woth only input 
in the sensitivity list

process(input)
