How would I make a code for the ev3 touch sensor on my raspberry pi? Dexter Industries has already told me that their lego nxt touch sensor code wouldn’t work with my ev3, so how would I make code for it?
No worries. You don’t have to. There are already nxt touch sensor drivers for BrickPi.

# This example will show you how to use the LEGO touch sensor with the BrickPi.
# When the touch sensor is pressed, the output should read "1"
# Connect the LEGO Touch Sensor to Sensor port S4.

# This code is an example for reading a touch sensor connected to PORT_1 of the BrickPi3
#
# Hardware: Connect an EV3 or NXT touch sensor to BrickPi3 Port 1.
#
# Results: When you run this program, you should see a 0 when the touch sensor is not pressed, and a 1 when the touch sensor is pressed.

Thanks graykevinb, but I do not have the BrickPi, only the Breadboard adapter.

@yousefgomaa : do you want to directly connect the EV3 touch sensor to the Raspberry Pi via the GPIO pins ?
