kianimo/pirobo — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple C++ starter project for something called pirobo. I’m imagining it as a small Raspberry Pi robot controller, but there isn’t a spec yet, so keep it practical and easy to extend.

I want a command line app where I can type basic robot commands like forward, backward, left, right, stop, and status. It should have a clean hardware layer so it can run in a safe simulation mode on my laptop without real motors connected, and later I can plug in the real GPIO or motor driver code. Add a simple config file for things like pin numbers, speed, and default timing.

Please include clear build instructions, a minimal README, sensible error messages, and a couple of basic tests or demo commands so I know it works. Keep the code readable for someone who is not a C++ expert. Look up current Raspberry Pi GPIO docs online if you need to.
