The only changes are the micro going from Arduino based system to using a PIC16F877A.
I have not looked into the I2C library that is being used for the Arduino code. |

The critical big difference between the Arduino, and a PIC is the
voltage that is accepted as a Vih on the I2C bus. The Arduino will
accept anything above 2.4v, the PIC (when running off 5v), needs
4v. This is why the voltage actually being applied to the pull-ups on
the PIC connection is vital. |

You still didn't tell us
1. The number of pull-up resistors you have installed. Do you have 19 ?
2. The value of the resistors.
3. The pull-up voltage on each resistor. |

Hello,
There 4.7K Resistors (pullups) from the micro to the TCA and 5V on the SDA and SCL lines.
There 4.7K Resistors (pullups) on the output of SD0/SD1 on the TCA and 5V on the SDA and SCL lines.
The empty (unused) outputs on the TCA do not have resistors on them.
Reset line 10K to VCC
Status bit on TCA:
Stat: 01
ACK addr: E0
Thanks.... |

add all the other pullups...
while YOU don't use them, having them 'float' could allow stray glitch to enter the device.
do you have bypass cap at the chips ? |

You talk about all the pull-ups going to 5v.
Yes the ADXL345 is a 3.3v device. It needs to be running off 3.3v, and
have pull-ups to 3.3v. |

The ADXL345 is a board from Adafruit and VIN is from 3.3V - 5.0V as it says it on the board. Logic is also 3.3V-5.0V
I will pull all the channels up to 5V even though I am not using them. |

Hello,
I pulled up the unused SDA/SCL ports on the TCA9548A. The channels are not switching. If I connect the ADXL to the PICF16F877A directly I can see the address 0xA6. I know the ADXL is working and the PIC16F877A.
I have changed out the TCA9548A with another one in case I damaged it, and it does the same thing. I put the part back into the Arduino circuit and works fine.
Any other suggestions? |

| You are probably going to need to use SMBus mode on the 5V PIC so that it can properly read the lower voltage 3.3V I2C of the peripheral. |

No, the TDA does level translation.
However I pointed out that the Arduino code is not talking to the address
he says the TDA is on. He never answered on this....
The Arduino is addressing it on 0xE0, not on 0xEE, which he claims it is
wired for.
This would mean that A0, A1 & A2 are actually pulled low, not high. |

| A0,A1,A2 are pulled low on the Arduino board and the PIC16F877A board. The response Arduino is 0X70 and the response PIC is 0xE0. |

So have you changed:
#define TCAaddr 0xEE
Needs to be 0xE0 or the TCA will not be addressed |

You are using the select bus function incorrectly. The syntax is:
select_bus(Channel);
You are trying to tell it to select a bus that doesn't exist....
It uses the array internally to select the bus. Doesn't expect to
be called with the array value....  |

That is my mistake then, he used it as I wrote it 
Very nice catch, I will correct it in the code. |
