The Thunderbolt does not produce NMEA messages, so you would need to parse the TSIP data stream. My C program to do that for all Thunderbolt messages is around 2700 lines long.
LOCK on the Thunderbolt is not a simple question to answer with a single blinkey light. There are many degrees of lockage and unlockage to consider. You have satellite lock, oscillator lock, signal quality, oscillator holdover, PPS offset, frequency offset, etc. A simple LED lock light would leave much to the imagination (but then, what you don't know can't hurt you, right...)
I am working on a Thunderbolt controller based on a small LCD touchscreen graphics controller (mega-donkey.com). First I will probably do a version that runs on old laptops.
