I bought the USB C to Lightning connection, the iPad says this device not supported. The pencil not in the Bluetooth list. I’ve restarted the iPad and the pencil is charged. Any ideas?
Your 2022 sixth generation iPad Pro supports the second generation Apple Pencil. Here is Apple’s definitive compatibility list for Apple Pencil and iPad:
Apple Pencil compatibility - Apple Support
The first and second generation Pencil use an entirely different pairing and charging interface.
The second generation Pencil can only be used with iPad models that have the magnetic/inductive dock that is exclusively designed for the Pencil. Charging is controlled via the iPad magnetic dock.
The first generation Apple Pencil uses the physical Lightning port of the Pencil and host iPad for both pairing and charging the first generation Pencil. The first generation Pencil can also be charged using an inline charging adapter and the iPad’s Power Adapter. This pencil can only be used with compatible iPad models that have a Lightning connector; with the sole exception of the new iPad10, requiring a special adapter, iPad models that feature a USB-C port lack any means by which to pair with a first generation Pencil.
In summary, the Apple Pencil models are not interchangeable - and can only be used with the iPad that has appropriate internal hardware.

That is correct.
2018-2022 iPad Pro models ALL use the newest, more expensive 2nd gen Apple Pencil.
The older, original, 1st gen Apple Pencil will not work.
Both versions of the Pencil Bluetooth pair and charge differently.
Sorry.
