Wired apple pencil use

The apple pencil 1st generation has a lighting connector for charging and for pairing with bluetooth. Is it possible to use the connector with a female/male cable and connect this to the ipad so as to avoid using bluetooth? I have often had problems with bluetooth dropping out while giving zoom lectures and want a more reliable wired connection.

No. It only plugs into your iPad via the Lightning plug to charge it. It is NOT capable of working without a Bluetooth connection.
