Apple Pencil

My Apple Pencil started to write strangely. Now the lines are dotted. No matter where I write. I created the pair of Apple Pencil and iPad once again. I deleted and downloaded the note taking app again. I changed the to of the pencil. It still gives me dotted lines

iPad, iPadOS 14

Make sure the tip of the Pencil is screwed on securely and snugly ( NOT TOO tight! ).
