1. A system for adjusting actuator pressure on an agricultural implement, the system comprising:
an implement frame;
a tool adjustably coupled to the implement frame;
a fluid-driven actuator configured to adjust a position of the tool relative to the implement frame, the fluid-driven actuator defining a fluid chamber;
a valve configured to control a flow of a fluid to the fluid-driven actuator;
a fluid conduit fluidly coupled between the valve and the fluid chamber;
a position sensor configured to capture data indicative of a current position of the tool relative to the implement frame;
a first pressure sensor configured to capture data indicative of a current first pressure of the fluid supplied to the valve;
a second pressure sensor configured to capture data indicative of a current second pressure of the fluid within the fluid chamber or the fluid conduit;
a temperature sensor configured to capture data indicative of an ambient temperature; and
a computing system communicatively coupled to the position sensor, the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, and the temperature sensor, wherein the computing system:
determines the current position of the tool relative to the implement frame based on the data captured by the position sensor;
determines the current first and second pressures based on the data captured by the first and second pressure sensors, respectively;
determines the current temperature of the fluid based on the data captured by the temperature sensor;
determines a current volume of the fluid chamber and the fluid conduit based on the determined current position; and
controls the operation of the valve based on the determined current volume, the determined current first and second pressures, and the determined current temperature.
