Specifically, the LBD file contains raw data logged by the programmable brick, which can then be exported for analysis. It can be opened using LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Software.

LittleBrother Database

Last but not least, LBD files might be associated with LittleBrother - an application for mobile platforms like iPhone and iPod touch to store location data in a SQLite database. This non-intrusive application offers an extra layer of protection for the user should their device be lost or stolen. The database can be retrieved and read using any SQLite reader.

LBD File Important Information

Irrespective of their actual content, all these files share the .LBD extension. Understanding the specific use of your .LBD file is important, as it will dictate the appropriate software to open and manipulate it. It's always crucial to remember not to rename the extension on .LBD files, or any other files. This will not change the file type.
