Problem when trying to send 10 messages/second

XBee & XBee Gateway XBee Programamble (S2C & 900 HP)

Hi. I’m new to XBee. I’m using XBee S2C programable as router and XBee S2C PRO as coordinator, all in transparent mode.

My router is programed to send a message each delay_ticks(25)[=0.1s], but I’m receiving 10 messages/second during 7 seconds and in the 8th I receive 11. It seems that I’m accumulating a delay during 7s that allows an extra data to be sent each 8s, without interfering with the following second.

Is there a way to correct this mistake and make sure I always send 10 messages/s, like a more precise delay?

Piece of the code:
for (;:wink:
{
now = rtc_get_ms_uptime();

	// Check that message has not been sent yet
	if (now != before)
	{
		before = now;
		
		// Send information packet if XBee has joined the network
		if (joined)
		{
			env.length = sprintf(tx_buf, "%i", new);
			xbee_transparent_serial(&env);
			if (new < 9) 
				new++;
			else 
				new = 0;
		}
	}
	
	// Delay T = 0.1s (1 tick corresponds to 4ms)
	delay_ticks(25);
	
	// Reset internal counters
	sys_watchdog_reset();
	sys_xbee_tick();
}

Thanks for the input!
