PCB detail

Software

Please use Eagle 7.7 software to open schematic files (main.sch/main.brd and sub.sch/sub.brd)

Eagle 7.7 can be found at http://eagle.autodesk.com/eagle/software-versions/1

Note.
7.7 is an old and free version of Eagle. 
Latest Eagle is not free anymore unless you are students

Manufacture

There are a lot of online service that can manufacture PCB/PCBA for you (just google PCB/PCBA).

Seeed (https://www.seeedstudio.io/fusion_pcb.html) is one of them.

They also provide instructions of generating necessary Gerber files at http://support.seeedstudio.com/knowledgebase/articles/1176532-how-to-generate-gerber-file.

Sub (x2)

sub.brd/usb.sch

There is 1 difference between left and right PCB. The SJ1 of right PCB is left open, but SJ1 of left PCB should be closed. (This is i2c address setting of PCB9865)

Servo Connection

Each leg of hexapod has 3 servos (body, thigh, foot), refer to below diagram for correct connection
