# Mock Link
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_Mock Link_ allows you to create and stop links to multiple simulated (mock) vehicles in _QGroundControl_ debug builds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The simulation does not support flight, but does allow easy testing of:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Mission upload/download
|
||
|
|
- Viewing and changing parameters
|
||
|
|
- Testing most setup pages
|
||
|
|
- Multiple vehicle UIs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is particularly useful for unit testing error cases for mission upload/download.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Using Mock Link
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use _Mock Link_:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Create a debug build by [building the source](https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol#supported-builds).
|
||
|
|
1. Access _Mock Link_ by selecting the _Application Settings_ icon in the top toolbar and then **Mock Link** in the sidebar:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. The buttons in the panel can be clicked to create a vehicle link of the associated type.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Each time you click a button a new connection will be created.
|
||
|
|
- When there is more than one connection the multiple-vehicle UI will appear.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Click the **Stop one Mock Link** to stop the currently active vehicle.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using _Mock Link_ is then more or less the same as using any other vehicle, except that the simulation does not allow flight.
