I see it now. Thank you. I didn't know the Serial TL was idle high/active low, which shocked me and then through me.Working now.
Good that you got things working!
With all seriousness, you can see your circuit and you have a good relationship with the wiring , we cannot see a thing.
Writing a bunch of words for a schematic is quite difficult in making something visual.
Attaching a proper schematic shows others exactly what's happening.
