Serial Communication without computer!!!

I saw the mystic. When Vin voltage is higer than 6.5V the lmv358 like shut down the atmega8u2 and serial wont work :frowning:
Maybe some know how to solve this.
PS.
In my project I use Motorshield with L293D chip which need higer voltage to drive motors :wink:

It may be a stupid question but if i have a two seperate supply they never communicate through serial? If it - how can i communicate?
