Edit:

using the tutorials on learn.turtlebot.com , I thought that I was still meant to be using the OpenNI drivers [..]

thing is: those tutorials were created by members of the community.

Software evolves, and if artefacts like those tutorials don't get updated, you run into situations like this.

It's really unfortunate, but it's a common problem with documentation and support material.

You're in a unique position to do so, having just overcome the confusion of trying to understand the current material and mapping your insights to a newer version of the software stack.
