You could ask your neighbor or co-worker for soldering three wires with two connectors together :lol:
Sure you can buy it. But i think it is overpriced here :roll:

I dreamed a SamyGO Market Place for selling ExLink cables under SamyGO brand :D

I found an online-shop here in Germany which sells such a cable "PICAXE-Programmierkabel seriell"
(Serial cable with 3,5mm stereo)

There is also a USB programming cable. Could this be working too?
(USB cable with 3,5mm stereo)

Converter from USB to Serial is integrated into the cable.

Ok.

Does your answer refer to 1.) the serial- or 2.) USB-cable ? :)

I wonder, if the USB-cable will work.

My answer refers to the first.
The second cable should be ok to be used as ExLink too, but it is a bit expensive, so, not so awesome :D

I bought the AXE027 Cable and this one seems not working.
I get some pages of mixed chars but I cannot read something.
I'm not able to break the output and go to console.

1. B series doesn`t need cable with built in ttl converter
2. miched chars can be because of wrong connection settings
3. you can`t break all and get to console, because your:
a) console is locked
b) firmware is restricted and here is not possible to unlock console, need to downgrade firmware first
c) tv is ci+, no possible to send ctrl +c , shell input is limited
d) all other reasons, first of all - non working cable, bad pinout and so on.

You gave poor info about your television hardware. Btw, i think for B series exlink here is a lot of information, no need to invent the wheel. Just check wiki.
