I am trying to connect to a raspberry pi zero (and a pi3) via uart and USB (USB to TTL YP-01)

I am connected to pin 8, pin 10 and a ground. tx -> rx, rx -> tx

I have tried everything on this url

How do I make serial work on the Raspberry Pi3 (PiZeroW, Pi4 or later models)

and I still get nothing in minicom

What is the trick to bring up uart on a USB ttl?
