Wio Lite W600 UART not working?

I have tried this example: http://www.martyncurrey.com/arduino-serial-part-3-getting-started-with-serial-communication/

and this example of wiring it to a screen: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/4.3inch_e-Paper_UART_Module

but I cant seem to get either to work. Does anyone know why the serial does not work?
