MSP430 vs C2000 As a motor Controller

[DudeManBro09]

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to pick a micro-controller for a motor controller that I am trying to design.

Currently I am torn between the MSP430 and C2000 as seen here
MSP430:

C2000

I have been doing some flow-charting and some planning and I have come up with the following requirements for this project.

The controller must have:
-I2C Slave functionality
- at least 6 Gpio pins
- 4 ADC's
-the horsepower to run a Decently Sized PID control algorithm
- still have space to run a good amount of custom logic

I am currently using 4 GPIO to drive an H-Bridge.

I have somewhat achieved this in the C2000 but of course the I2C is still kind of killing me. This made me really stop and think about if the C2000 is overkill here and if can do what I want here with an MSP430.

I bought the C2000 on a wim and I was just curious to see what the community has to say about this.

Would this even be possible with an MSP430 or does the C2000 seem to be the better option here?

I know the C200 can do it but I am wondering if it is way overkill.

Thank you in advance,
Carlo

The thing is designed to run motors. There's also a huge variety of similar products (bigger, smaller etc.)
