How to solve the Eye of the Needle puzzle in Talos Principle 2

Before attempting to solve this puzzle in Talos Principle 2, it is important to determine the location of the Progress Wheel. When you head northwest after this puzzle starts, you will find a blue barrier with a blue sun guarding a Progress Wheel situated behind another blue barrier with a blue sun.

To solve this puzzle in the Wooded Plateau, start by putting the Driller on the west red square. This will deactivate the barrier next to it and allow you to grab the Connector on its other side.
