Has anyone been successful in interfacing a PIC16, a MAX3421 USB Host and a camera?

I actually started down the IR path several months ago, by buying another IR control to modify.

My MAX3421 Eval kit arrives today, so I will be able to experiment with USB control. Who knows, I may go back to IR soon.

This might be helpful although not directly answering your question. I went searching for a 3.3V to 5V converter and stumbled on to it.
