Hi. I just found the topic related to this thread, at:

[Flyback diodes and why you need them](https://forum.arduino.cc/t/flyback-diodes-and-why-you-need-them/675409)

as I need to drive a quartz clock motor coil with a microcontroller, and wondering how to design the snubber diode circuit.

Unfortunately I cannot see any of the pictures in the above quoted article, making the article useless. (All pictures in the article page show up as the broken picture icon.)

How do I view the article page with all of the pictures restored? FWIW, I am using Google Chrome on a Windows 10 computer.
