use delta_t or packet_num for more stable counting...

My only improvement on the code given by Nick is to use
the packet_num or delta_t to increment the counter.

By using this method you can have relatively stable
timing even if your program goes insane or your radio
signal gets very noise. In those cases, it can take a
LONG time to get through a loop. But you still get
relatively stable timing because delta_t and packet_num
have the information that let you keep track of
approximately how long it took to get through the loop.

BOTTOM LINE:

set the config's to used Delta_t

change Nick's count increment line to:

coun = coun + 1 + Delta_t
