Claim 7:
8. A method for controlling a double-acting air cylinder of an agricultural implement, comprising:
determining, via a controller having a memory and a processor, a target base end air pressure and a target rod end air pressure for the double-acting air cylinder based on a target force of the double-acting air cylinder and a target damping factor of the double-acting air cylinder, wherein the double-acting air cylinder is configured to apply a force to a ground-engaging tool of the agricultural implement based on a base end air pressure within a base end of the double-acting air cylinder and a rod end air pressure within a rod end of the double-acting air cylinder; and
controlling, via the controller, a valve assembly such that a first difference between the base end air pressure and the target base end air pressure is less than a first threshold value and a second difference between the rod end air pressure and the target rod end air pressure is less than a second threshold value, wherein the valve assembly is configured to control the base end air pressure within the base end of the double-acting air cylinder and the rod end air pressure within the rod end of the double-acting air cylinder.
