I'm trying to design a basic Vending machine on a Altera DE1-SoC Board. My question comes from trying to code the State Machine that will control the vending process. How do you track the $ value being added jumping between states? I think the code I'm trying to implement is written in a higher level language format and is not being able to be compiled in VHDL. Any ideas?
I'm getting this error (right after the Architecture declaration):
Error (10482): VHDL error at State.vhd(21): object "unsignedInteger" is used but not declared
library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;

entity MessageState is
Port(

MyStateOut :out std_logic_vector( 1 downto 0 ); -- drive the current state to display or LEDs
OutputCode :out std_logic_vector( 6 downto 0 ) -- to the display driver
);
end;
architecture Vending_FSM of MessageState is

constant Dispense :MyState := "100";
signal state, next_state: MyState;
begin
MyStateOut <= state; -- make state visible.
MyNextState: process(state, next_state) begin -- add all signals read or tested in this process
case state is
when Idle =>
if ( KEY(0) = '1') then
next_state <= NickelState;
elsif ( KEY(1) = '1') then
next_state <= DimeState;
elsif ( KEY(2) = '1') then

end if;
1) Remove use IEEE.std_logic_unsigned.all;
because numeric_std
is already loaded. It declares the SIGNED
and UNSIGNED
data types.
2) The type for your signal Count
is just UNSIGNED
.
