Ok! Got it.
First, and this is for everyone useful to know, with your image the RX led on the arduino was constantly ON. That denotes a fault in /boot/config.txt. I compared it to mine, changed one line, then rebooted:
#dtoverlay=gpio-fan,gpiopin=14,temp=80000
enable_uart=1
dtoverlay=disable-bt
The RX led was now OFF. (Note: GPIO14 = the TX signal, to which the arduino's RX is connected; if you want to use the gpio-fan overlay you'd need to use another pin)
Then, in the log I could not see a line saying servo probe, so I removed an empty file .pypilot/serial. And now it works; lights are blinking:
servo probe ('/dev/ttyAMA0', 38400) 156.022047648
arduino servo found ['/dev/ttyAMA0', 38400]
Note, that I ran pypilot at the prompt. This is the best way to get useful feedback.
Let me know if this works on your end as well.
Cheers,

PS the overlay name pi3-disable-bt appears to have been renamed to disable-bt, but is still available for backward compatibility. They both work on my pi4. I made a few edits to the previous post to prevent ambiguity in the future.

Thank you very much!
I have followed your instructions and obtained the same results.
It is working fine. Great job!
Thanks a lot a both of you.
Cheers
