ESP32 uart_read_bytes always 0

I have ESP32-PICO-KIT v4
and i want to communicate with uart and serial port
i took the following code example:

}
uart_read_bytes always reutrns 0
i've attached a picture of the wiring

the chip connected to esp32 is increase the volt to fit the pc (sp3232ecp 0633L)

is there a guide or an example how to make it works?
thank you

You should power the rs232 converter from 3v3 and you selected gpios 21 & 22 but your wires are not attached there.
