[TR] can I test a distributor with the following?

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Of course, if you have a running engine and a timing light you have all you need.

A friend has one of these which is the best way to assess centrifugal advance...

But I can get a pretty accurate curve by just using a timing light with an advance dial to get readings at various RPMs then plotting on a graph.

My son has a few ARDUINOs and Raspberry pies and a Picoscope. ( Cheap oscilloscope probes which works with a PC). Are there any suggestions if any of these can be used to test the centrifugal parts of a distributor and how?
I do have a timing gun.
