PIC24FV16KM202 UART Setup

[Yasein SH]

Can someone please help with me setting up UART on the PIC24FV16KM202 microcontroller. All I am trying to do is send the character 'A' through UART. I am using a Photon from particle for the receiving end. The photon is not receiving anything. I have tested the Photon with an Arduino and a different microcontroller and they both worked. I am just having trouble setting UART up with the PIC24FV16KM202. I have my code below, any help would be much appreciated.

// PIC24FV16KM202 Configuration Bit Settings

// 'C' source line config statements

#pragma config FWDTEN = ON              // Watchdog Timer Enable bits (WDT enabled in hardware)
#pragma config WINDIS = OFF             // Windowed Watchdog Timer Disable bit (Standard WDT selected(windowed WDT disabled))

// FPOR

//#pragma config RETCFG = OFF             //  (Retention regulator is not available)
#pragma config PWRTEN = ON              // Power-up Timer Enable bit (PWRT enabled)
#pragma config I2C1SEL = PRI            // Alternate I2C1 Pin Mapping bit (Use Default SCL1/SDA1 Pins For I2C1)
#pragma config BORV = V18               // Brown-out Reset Voltage bits (Brown-out Reset set to lowest voltage (1.8V))
#pragma config MCLRE = ON               // MCLR Pin Enable bit (RA5 input pin disabled, MCLR pin enabled)

// FICD
