Wired up as shown - got nothing - no errors - no pixel light. Swapped to GPIO18 and tried https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x.git and that seemed to work fine - so I know my pixel is wired correctly.

Trying on an rpi3 with latest raspbian pixel.

The Raspberry PI 3 totally messed with the serial ports. While it is probably possible to get this technique to work on a 3, you'd have to figure out the new pins and new register addresses and do lots of hardware config on the PI.

Ah ok, no problems
