Magnetic levitation allows objects to float without direct mechanical contact. With the de-velopment of technology, powerful microcontrollers, sensors, and modern control methods, this phenomenon increasingly appears in research and industrial applications. Precise mea-surement systems, which enable real-time monitoring of levitation process parameters and the position of the levitating body, play a key role. In this thesis, a measurement system was developed and implemented for an existing magnetic levitation setup to capture the input signal of the PID controller, which represents the feedback on the position of the magnet under the coil, as well as the output signal of the PID controller, which determines the control current of the coil and thus the levitation of the magnet. The methodology includes a parallel connection of the controller’s signals to a microcontroller, which stores the measurements on an SD card for further analysis. The system enables reliable data acquisition, serving as the basis for studying the dynamics of the magnetic levitation system and for applying arti-ficial intelligence to optimize magnetic levitation control.
