Extract text from watchX Blocks projects (WXB)
To convert WXB projects to another format, you need watchX Blocks or other Developer software.
To convert other file formats to the "Visual Code Project" file type, you need software like watchX Blocks or a similar tool.
A .WXB file is a development project created with watchX Blocks, a visual programming platform designed specifically for the watchX smartwatch. These files store graphical code blocks that represent underlying Arduino-compatible instructions.
These files are natively created and compiled using the watchX Blocks software. However, because they are structurally standard XML documents, they can also be opened and edited in advanced code editors like Microsoft Visual Studio Code.
The main disadvantage of the .WXB format is its strict dependency on the watchX ecosystem. Without the specific IDE, you lose the visual drag-and-drop interface, making the raw XML tags tedious to read and impossible to compile directly to hardware. It is a highly specialized, proprietary wrapper that restricts how you share and reuse your code.
For broader compatibility, it is best to convert the visual logic into standard INO (Arduino Source Code) files, or extract the structural data to XML or TXT for documentation and manual review.
Because .WXB files are tied to a niche piece of hardware, standard online converters fail to process them.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WXB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted EKM files.
If you want to convert WXB file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use watchX Blocks or similar software from the "Smartwatch Visual Code Project" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to WXB, try watchX Blocks or another comparable tool in the "Smartwatch Visual Code Project" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our WXB converter.
