Creating a usb time lapse for Cannon EOS Rebel XS using a c# program?

Question

I am wondering if this is even possible. I want to make my own software to control the release of the shutter via the remote shutter release. From the diagrams I have seen it has a 3.3 v (no load) and a threshold voltage of 1.8v. I am wondering if I can use limit a usb cables voltage which is around 5.25v, if I am understanding correctly. Is this even possible, or do I need to look in a new direction. I am hoping to write the software in c# which I am fairly confident in. Thank you in advance for your help :)
