Hi everybody!
I'm working about a prjoect with arduino uno and sim9àà gsm shield.
So i have to get pressure measurement and send it in my phone with sms alert! when a pressure thershold is over.
So i'm working in windows, and i want to send the pressure value. But i've seen that i 've to convert it before in a string. i tried with "itoa function" but this no work.

So please could you help me to send integer pressure values in my phone with sms?
