Wiggly lines with my 1st gen Pencil

I’ve been using me 1st gen pencil with my 6th gen iPad and i can never draw nice straight lines they are always wiggly, I’ve check the pencil and made sure the cap is on right and there is nothing in it and I don’t have a screen protector on my iPad so it should work fine? Is there anything anyone has found that works?

iPad, iPadOS 14

Apple pencil lines start with a dot I just bought an M2 iPad Pro and a new Apple Pencil as well. When I'm drawing or writing most lines start with a noticeable dot and this happens in all drawing apps. I tried turning off Zoom and Double Tap, updating iOS, resetting, un-pairing and pairing the pencil, making sure no static electricity is interfering and a few other things, but nothing has helped so far.

My iPad refuses to draw on a specific area. This happened weeks ago, and for some reason, my iPad is refusing to draw on a specific horizontal line. I noticed this problem when I’m simply trying to draw on procreate with my apple pencil. The same thing occurs when I draw with my finger. I thought procreate was the issue, but as I tried to draw on other drawing platforms the same issue happened. I’ve hard reset my iPad, and refreshed the app. The same problem still occurs. I’m using the iPad 6 with the 1st generation apple pencil. I haven’t had any recent damage of both devices.Is there a way I can fix this?

Apple Pencil 2 missing double tap options I have an 11” IPad Pro 3rd gen with Apple Pencil 2. IOS 15.7. When I go to settings to check or change the pencil settings, I don’t have any options to do so. I just get something about scribble. Double tap doesn’t work on the pencil. I’ve restarted, rebooted, disconnected and everything else that has been suggested to no avail. What’s next.

Is Bluetooth ON for the Pencil?

What app is this and is it compatible with the Apple Pencil?
