The bachelor's thesis deals with the design of an optical beam position detector with the required parameters. The aim was to select a suitable photodetector that captures light rays and converts them into photocurrent, to design photocurrent processing into a voltage signal with linear properties and specified parameters, to convert the analog form of the voltage signal into digital information with which a microcomputer or microcontroller can work. The analog part of the work is simulated in the program OrCAD PSpice, in which the functionality and correctness of the designs is confirmed. The digital part processes the voltage signal to the information of the used channel, its level displays this data on the display
