MKRZERO extra serial ports

Hi, I followed the official arduino tutorial to create an extra UART TX/RX port and for my MKRzero and modified it slightly to produce:

/*

  AnalogReadSerial on new UART placed on pins 1 and 0

  Reads an analog input on pin A0, prints the result to the serial monitor.

  Graphical representation is available using serial plotter (Tools > Serial Plotter menu)

  Attach the center pin of a potentiometer to pin A0, and the outside pins to +3.3V and ground.

  Short together pin 1 and pin 0 with a wire jumper

#include <Arduino.h>
#include "wiring_private.h"

Uart mySerial (&sercom3, 1, 0, SERCOM_RX_PAD_1, UART_TX_PAD_0); // Create the new UART instance assigning it to pin 1 and 0

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {

  // initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second:

  Serial.begin(9600);

  mySerial.begin(9600);

  pinPeripheral(1, PIO_SERCOM); //Assign RX function to pin 1

  pinPeripheral(0, PIO_SERCOM); //Assign TX function to pin 0
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {

  // read the input on analog pin 0:

  int sensorValue = analogRead(A0);

  // print out the value you read on mySerial wired in loopback:

  mySerial.write(sensorValue);

  while (mySerial.available()) {

    Serial.print(mySerial.read());

  }

  Serial.println();

  delay(1);        // delay in between reads for stability
}

// Attach the interrupt handler to the SERCOM
void SERCOM3_Handler()
{

  mySerial.IrqHandler();
}

I am using an Analog Discovery 2 to try and read the serial values coming off the arduino and am stumped. It does not seem to be outputting anything?

I have the digital pin 0 connected to arduino pin 0, and I also tried to connect GND of the analog discovery 2 to the arduino GND with no luck.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Any other ideas for debugging this serial method?
